Ghost hunters are hoping to oust spirits when they swoop on an allegedly haunted museum tonight.

The professional team from paranormal research company Fright Nights will start conducting an investigation on Friday night at the Museum of Kent Life in Sandling, where they hope to log and record paranormal activity.
