THE search is on for volunteers to take part in a Witch Hunt.

Following on from the success of last year's Renfrewshire Witch Hunt, a festival which drew in thousands, this year organisers are hoping the re-enactment will attract even bigger crowds on October 5.

The project will transport spectators back to the 17th century.

Visitors will be plunged into a fascin-atingly dark period in the area's past, in which seven Renfrewshire citizens were put to death after accusations of witchcraft by an 11- year-old girl.

Volunteers are asked to drop by the Witch Hunt base in Paisley Shopping Centre, Unit 17 and talk to a member of the team.
