WHO YOU GONNA CALL? DELAYS!

The band investigate paranormal activity in Dorchester…

Delays have been doing a bit of ghost busting for a special TV appearance.


The Southampton quartet were recently filmed in a 15th century haunted house, near Dorchester on an all night stake out for BBC South’s Inside Out program.


During their stay at Athelhampton House they kept an eye out for the restless spirits of two 17th century duellists, a grey lady and a monkey.


The hunt starts when the band lay out a series of ghost bait objects.


Keyboardist Aaron Gilbert explained: "It’s highly scientific. The chosen object – an old cross is placed within a beautifully neat pencilled outline, so if a ghost moves it – bingo!"


The program goes out on BBC1 at 7.30pm on Monday October 11.
