HALLOWE'EN is the time of year for unexplained goings-on.

But the Intech science discovery centre at Winchester has been offering explanations for the spooky phenomena.

Children on half-term holiday have been visiting the centre at Morn Hill to hear how science can explain witches, ghosts and things that go bump in the night.

Youngsters used hi-tech design equipment spy periscopes. Tomorrow the children will make their own Hallowe'en masks.
