Series Two of Most Haunted opens with a very spooky investigation into a disused church which occupies the upper floors of Brannighans nightclub in Manchester.

There are reports of considerable poltergeist activity and spectral sightings, including two entities that, according to spiritualist medium Derek Acorah, did not want a television crew in the building.

Tutbury, celebrated for its ruined castle, was once a market town seated on the south bank of the River Dove.

The tower on top of the motte dates from the mid 18th century. The original Norman castle is said to date back to 1071 belonging first to Hugh de Avranches and then to Henry, Lord of Ferriers and Chambrais in Normandy.

In 1174, following a disagreement with William Ferriers, King Henry II lay siege to the castle and ordered it to be demolished. In 1263 it came under further attack from Prince Edward (the future King Edward I). Two years later, Henry III gave Tutbury Castle to his younger son Edmund. It has remained in the hands of the Earls and Dukes of Lancaster ever since.

In 1362, new walls, towers and buildings were added on by John of Gaunt, second Duke of Lancaster. And in the late 16th Century the castle was used to keep Mary Queen of Scots imprisoned.

The final straw came in 1646, during the Civil War when Parliamentary forces inflicted even more damage leaving the ruin

This hotel has had guests running from their rooms in fear, and the cellars are said to be haunted by the spirit of a murdered maid.

Originally built in 1910, the Station was rebuilt as a larger hotel in 1936. Famous guests over time have included Laurel & Hardy, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and George Formby.

Do the cameras capture evidence of poltergeists? You decide, in this scary 24-hour investigation.

In this dark, damp and disused prison, spiritualist medium Derek Acorah has a difficult time coming to terms with allegedly hostile spirits.

Fear gets the better of some female members of the crew and the director receives a cut to his head which cannot be explained by natural causes.

The House Of Detention site is 300 years old. Built in 1845 , it soon to became London's biggest remand prison with up to 10,000 prisoners a year.

Most of it was demolished in 1890 but the wardens residence and the entire underground level of the prison was left intact. Some underground cells became air raid shelters during the Second World War. In 1983 the doors were opened to tourists.

Three locations, one investigation. The Heritage Centre, Laffertys Pub, and The Bell Inn give Derby a claim on the title of 'the most haunted city in Europe'.

Bodies under the floor at the Heritage Centre; a skull - believed to belong to a murdered woman at Laffertys; and a room that no one will stay in at the Bell Inn, make this investigation one of the most challenging and frightening of the series.

The Bell Inn is an old coaching inn. The building, built in 1680, retains much of its original features. Amongst reported sightings there is a Victorian lady in blue, a poltergeist who throws things around and a maid in 18th Century garb. The maid is said to have been murdered in 1745 and has been seen in the presence of children.

The George Inn, now Lafferty's, was one of the most famous coaching inns in Derby and was built around 1693. Over the years the inn hosted the Duke of Devonshire's headquarters during the 1745 uprising, it has also been home to vet and dentist surgeries, the pos

A 17th century manor house that has been renovated to its 17th century state and is said to be haunted by many of its previous occupants: soldiers, children, and a maid. Reported sightings include a cot that rocks on its own...

The manor was home to Colonel Edward Prichard during the Civil War. It is said that Charles I visited in 1645 and that following his visit, loyalties went from King to Parliament.

If you want to visit there are candlelight ghost tours in the winter months.

This ancient and crumbling castle invokes the troubled maritime and smuggling history of Cornwall. It is said to be built on the site of a Tudor Manor around 1500.

The grounds include a large wooded area with ruins that play host to ghost sightings of sailors and monks.

This is an atmospheric location that spooks even the hard-bitten, worldy-wise Most Haunted crew.

The castle is at the centre of many myths and legends, one of which is that Henry Pengersick was violent man and that back in the 12th Century he killed a monk and wounded a vicar. The present owners believe that if there are ghosts at Pengersick Castle they could be of Henry Pengersick, later known as Henry Le Fort and his wife Engrina.

Another legend is that of an evil man who left his wife while fighting in foreign lands. While on his travels he courted another woman who gave him a magic sword. He returned to his castle to have his wife and young child drowned and to marry yet another woman, this one an evil witch. His ot

Part one of the Ruth Ellis ghost mystery. This very large privately owned house, built across Medieval, Georgian and Victorian periods, is said to play host to strange noises, doors opening and closing, dark figures in corridors and a room that seems to harbour a number of spiritual entities.

When spiritualist medium Derek Acorah picks up on the sprit of a woman called Ruth, only the property owner Fred Batt can explain the extraordinary link. Fred also owns a Caesars nightclub in London, which is said to be haunted by 1950s socialite Ruth Ellis.

Part two of the Ruth Ellis investigation takes the Most Haunted team to Fred Batt's South London nightclub.

The largest club in London, Caesars was closed for many years.

When current owner Fred Batt re-opened the club eight years ago strange things started to occur.

Staff report unidentified footsteps along corridors, dark shapes seen moving across rooms, doors opening on their own, and a ghostly woman's figure who is believed to be 1950s socialite Ruth Ellis. Ellis used to work at Caesars nightclub.

Spiritualist medium Derek Acorah picks up on the name Ruth, and the names of some of the club's former celebrity clients such as Reggie Kray.

Teamed with two celebrities, the Most Haunted team investigate Belgrave House in Leicester.
