Spooks and spectres gather outside Canary Wharf on halloween to carry out a haunting outside Lehmans at 25 Bank Street to wail at the financial crisis gripping the living at the witching hour.

They bring with them a coffin which is covered in earth to symbolise the death of capitalism which is then carried around the Square.

The protest is called as the financial crisis goes on apace with the FTSE now at a record low and the US dollar severely devalued on the money markets.

In the UK, the British banking industry continues to try to shore itself up with money from foreign investors with Barclays bank seeking over 7 billion GBP from financiers operating out of the Middle-East.

The protest comes as widespread speculation now points to recession. London, October 2008.
