Waiheke Island couple Helio Locatelli and Nicola Hambley get into the spirit of Halloween at the Larnach Castle Halloween Ball on Saturday night. PHOTO: GREGOR RICHARDSONIf the ghost of William Larnach started groaning and roaming the halls of Larnach Castle during the annual Halloween Ball on Saturday night, it is possible few people would have noticed. He would have "blended in" with the guests, who spent most of the night dancing in devilish, ghoulish and ghostly garments. But among the 100 people at the ball were Waiheke Island couple Helio Locatelli and Nicola Hambley, who think they may have had a paranormal encounter with the late, great Scot during the ball. Her family had been celebrating Halloween for several years, but developing specific themes had made the annual parties and celebrations a lot more fun.
