Longford descended into a Halloween haven last Monday night as the county town held its annual Dead of Night Festival. Despite the inclement weather conditions, it failed to dampen the spirits of both young and old alike as crowds lined the streets of Longford town for a hair-raising spectacle that will live long in the memory. Longford Leader photographer Shelley Corcoran was in situ to take in some of the many colourful images and outfits which were on display.
