Douglas town centre has a frightening feel to it on this afternoon (Sat), as the Island's inaugural Fright Fest takes place.
The afternoon of festivities include ghost walks, live music, fancy dress competitions and a local food and craft market.
Dressing up is mandatory in what is the beginning of the traditional Manx celebration of Hop tu Naa.
Gill Anderson from Douglas Development Partnership, says she hopes this event will encourage people to use Douglas as a place to hold events throughout the year:
Voters go to the polls for Manx General Election
Upgraded CCTV for Ramsey to be funded by criminal cash
Public counters closed due to staff shortages
Church service wants people to think more about impact of disabilities
