House haunted by Titanic's Captain goes up for sale.

My haunting goes on: Couple sell house plagued by ghost of Titanic captain who was born there (...and it even had a flooded kitchen)

 

A couple are hoping to sell the house where the Titanic’s captain was born - despite it being haunted by the doomed vessel’s skipper.

Former residents of the 19th century Victorian property - the birthplace of Captain Edward John Smith - are convinced they’ve seen the ghost of the ship’s master in the bedroom.

The previous owners of the house even reported a mysterious flood in the kitchen and an ICY chill in the dining room.

Captain Smith, who was among 1,500 people who died when the Titanic struck an iceberg a century ago, lived at the house until he began his naval career as a teenager.


Married couple Neil and Louise Bonner paid £35,000 for the two-bedroom property in the Hanley area of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, in 2002. 


But after renting it out for the last decade, the couple say there have been a number of ghostly sightings and 'spooky goings-on'.

Freelance writer Mr Bonner, 64, said: 'Some years ago we had a single chap living in there and he rang up one day convinced he had seen the ghost of the captain.

'He had been at sea himself and said he was in bed when he saw him drift across the room. 


'The ghost wasn’t in a naval uniform or anything but he was certain he had seen him.

'It hasn’t caused anyone to move out, but without doubt it could be haunted by the captain’s ghost because other people have reported spooky goings-on.

'We’ve heard of things going bump in the night from other tenants. 


'Some have said they felt a really cold chill passing over them - as cold as an iceberg.'

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the disaster, the couple, who live in Baswich, Staffordshire, are now putting the house back on the market for £80,000.
