Every Halloween many people across Norwich spend time carving pumpkins and making costumes - but one woman has taken her festivities to the next level.  

Dawn Girling, who lives in Waterman Road, has always been a huge fan of Halloween with the love of the celebration surpassing Christmas. 

And this year she has gone all out to show her love for all things spooky with her home and garden transformed into a haunted house.
