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.
The finale of The Celebrity Traitors is hitting our TV screens next Friday, and there’s a big screening party happening in Leeds especially for it.
Don't panic guys, it's happening.
Fancy sitting down to watch one of the cultural events of the year on a big screen with dozens of others who are just as invested in the show as you are? Well, now you can.
And that’s because Belgrave Music Hall, one of the city’s most beloved event spaces and bars, will be hosting a finale watching party and we’re all invited.
Taking place next Friday 23 January, fans of The Traitors are invited to watch the finale which kicks off 9pm in the canteen.
Best part? The tickets are absolutely free and we've no doubt there'll be some banging drink deals on to get the party started.
We’re already searching our wardrobes for an item of clothing that remotely resembles a cloak.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Belgrave said: "The world famous Traitors finale screening is back at Belgrave! In the past we've been graced with the presence of OG Faithful @theomayne1, plus our Clauds has been known to make an appearance (please scroll for evidence)... twists and turns are promised 👀"
So to give this series of The Traitors a proper send off, get yourself to Belgrave Music Hall from 6pm and enjoy a few beverages with like minded fans whilst screaming at the screen as Claudia makes her way into the frame.
Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone got an incredibly glossy black fringed wig we could borrow?
