There are some seriously spookyevents at Marshall's Mill, including a ghost tour where you can speak to the spirits from the former mill.
Hidden in Holbeck Urban Village lies a truly terrifying past. Marshall's Mill was once considered one of the biggest factories in the world, employing over 2000 members of staff in the 1800s.
The former flax spinning mill has some dark secrets hiding beneath its walls and for one-night-only, you can attempt to contact the spirits still lurking in the mill.
Guided by expert ghost hunters, Simply Ghost Nights, is a free ghost walk that takes you deep into the building and lets you explore Marshall Mill's eerie past.
Listen to the terrifying tales of the building's history and speak to the ghosts hiding around each corner as you make your way through the maze of corridors.

The mill was locally-known for its use of child labour and torturous discipline methods, so this ghost tour is certainly not for the faint hearted.
Since the Grade II listed building the late 1800s, the site has been taken over by a number of different textile retailers before redeveloping in the late 1990s. The space is now used partially for office space and to regenerate what is now Holbeck Urban Village.
There will be four ghost walk leaders and groups will consist of ten people on each tour of Marshall's Mill.
For those that are looking for fewer nightmares this Halloween, the cult classic Hocus Pocus will be shown over the road at The Cross Keys.
All events are free, with all voluntary donation made on the day going towards Leeds Women's Aid.
Due to limited capacity, tickets to reserve your place still need to have been organised prior to the event.
A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
Yorkshire-set Christmas film by Leeds director starring Richard E. Grant set to hit UK cinemas next month
Clementine Hall
A brand-new Christmas film is hitting cinemas nationwide next month - and it’s a proper Leeds success story.
Jack Spring directed his first feature film at just 19 years old and has spent the last decade carving out a career in independent film, as well as co-founding Leeds-based production company Shush Films.
His first movie, Destination: Dewsbury, was shot just down the road in - you guessed it - Dewsbury. And after moving to Leeds from Grimsby, Jack became determined to build his business from the city, putting down roots and growing his production company here.

Now, after years of working on independent projects, Jack has taken his biggest leap yet with a brand-new Christmas film, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint.
Set in Yorkshire, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint follows Aubrey Flint, a reclusive model soldier painter with a lifelong hatred of Christmas, who is sentenced to community service at Willow Lodge - a retirement home on the brink of closure.
Roped into helping with a chaotic production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Aubrey clashes with its interesting set of residents...
And the cast is about as star-studded as it gets, featuring Richard E. Grant, John Bradley, Celia Imrie, Adjoa Andoh, Sophia Di Martino, Adrian Rawlins and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.

The heartwarming festive comedy will hit cinemas nationwide on Friday 6 November - a huge milestone for a Leeds-based director and production company, taking a homegrown Yorkshire story to audiences across the country.
You just can't beat a proper wholesome British Christmas film, so you can best believe we'll be watching in the cinema, popcorn in hand.
