IT IS regarded as one of the city's most haunted buildings - but what I didn't expect to find out was that one of the ghosts is sexist.

Fortunately for me, Daisy the ghost likes terrorising men who visit The Commandery.

"You'll be fine , she only picks on men," my guide reassured me.

But while I was safe from Daisy, it was hard not to feel a chill down my spine as I wandered the halls of the historic building.

The sun was setting as I entered the former Royalist headquarters and I could see bats flying around The Commandery from the corner of my eye which added to the eerie atmosphere. 

During my visit, I asked my tour guide a list of questions she was probably expecting.

Do you think there are ghosts here? Have you ever seen a ghost wandering around? Do the ghosts play any practical jokes? Should I start believing in ghosts?

To find out the answers for yourself, you will have to pay a visit to the after-dark tours taking place on certain dates this month.

I'm not a big believer in ghosts myself but even I was re-evaluating that stance as I wandered around the dimly lit halls.

If you are a non-believer too, the tours are a great way to experience one of the city's most well-known tourist attractions in a unique way.

The most gruesome tale was told in the Victorian Kitchen and there is a drawing of a skeleton on the floor of the room which was built on the site of an early medical chapel.

I won't spoil the spooky surprise.

Did it turn me into a believer? Possibly not. But I did look over my shoulder when I heard a bump in the night as I made my way to the exit.
