Our photo shows ghosts and other characters from the Ghost Walk
Some 70 folk attended the Wareham Town Museum Ghost Walk and over £200 was raised for the museum Saxon Sword Display project.
Above: One of five Saxon coins minted in Wareham. It shows the head of Aethelred 11, King of England between 978 and 1016. The coins on display in the museum were found in Scandinavia, where they were taken by Vikings who were bribed by the English to stop their attacks on England.
Right: Juratyrant: fossil remains found in coastal rocks at Kimmeridge, Dorset, have been identified as a new species, Juratyrant. It was a carnivore, and smaller than its descendant, Tyrannosaurus rex. It was partly feathered.
