Liverpool Haunted House for Sale.
House 'haunted by poltergeist which lifted woman out of her bed' is listed for rent on Rightmove
Potential tenants may have to share the house in Liverpool, with an unwanted guest after ‘significant paranormal activity’ was reported by previous inhabitants
A house reported to be haunted by a poltergeist which lifted a woman out of her bed, has been listed for rent on Rightmove.
Potential tenants may have to share the house in Liverpool, with an unwanted guest after ‘significant paranormal activity’ was claimed by previous inhabitants - with one expert saying it is haunted by a poltergeist from the 1800s.
Situated in Pickwick Street, in Toxteth, potential tenants will need nerves of steel to arrange a viewing of the three-bedroom terraced property, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Social housing group, Plus Dane, who own the property, have confirmed reports of paranormal activity were first made in 2008 by the then residents.
On the market for £91 per week, anyone moving into the property will need to be aware of their potentially paranormal new roommates that they’ll share the house with - which an expert has described as a ‘violent spirit’ that previously lifted a former tenant out of her bed, and shook another house so much that the owner thought it was going to collapse.
Local paranormal expert Tom Slemen says that the ghost, known as the Pickwick Poltergeist, was first reported over 130 years ago.

He said: “There have been stories about a very unusual poltergeist on Pickwick Street that date back to the 1880s at least’ unusual in the fact that it seems to get around - most ghosts stick to haunting one property, but there are a rare few who flit from house to house, often in the same street, and the Pickwick Street Poltergeist is one of those.
“A landlady connected to the letting of Number 69, a Mrs Euphemia Nimlock, was also lifted out of her bed by the same violent spirit and, and another neighbour Ismael Jones (Number 70) was under the impression the house was going to collapse because of the vibrations.”
The listing describes the abode as: “3-bedroom terraced house in a popular location off Park Road, close to the Tesco Superstore. It has two singles and one double bedroom, rear yard, upstairs bathroom and two living rooms.”
But it then adds: “Please note previous tenants have advised us that they have experienced paranormal activity at the property.”
A spokesman for Plus Dane said: “Plus Dane received reports of unusual activity at this property in 2008 and worked with the tenant involved to look at ways in which we could help.
“We don’t get involved directly in instances such as this but we work to help, advise and support tenants if they are experiencing these issues and we take them very seriously.
“As part of our approach of being open and honest, we wanted to make anyone interested in this property aware of these past reports.”
It comes after ghostly hands were 'spotted in a Google Street View image of picturesque Victorian mansion.
The images of the three-bed dwelling in the Camden neighbourhood in New York show three sets of ghostly hands pressed against its third-floor windows.
It is currently being advertised for the low price of $105,000 (£67,268) which leads to speculation the ghostly visitors have something to do with it being a bargain.

The Haunted town of Toowoomba, Queensland.
A girl in a red dress and a shadowy figure hopping over headstones: How Toowoomba became Australia's most haunted town.
- The number of 'ghost encounters' in Toowoomba, Queensland, on the rise
- The regional city is considered by some 'Australia's most haunted' town
- 'We have found Toowoomba is full of ghosts,' one paranormal chaser says
- Ghost chasers believe they have captured dozens of encounters on film
Is this Australia's most haunted town?
A growing number of residents in the regional Queensland town of Toowoomba are documenting a series of spine-tingling encounters with ghosts.
The other-worldly activity is so frequent, a team of ghost hunters has set up shop in the not-so-sleepy town.
'We have found Toowoomba is full of ghosts,' founder Ms Samuels said.
The group has researched a number of reported sightings, and documents them with photos, videos and audio recordings.
Findings from the hunts are posted on the group's Facebook page.
Earlier this year, a video posted by the group claimed to show the horrifying moment a spirit eerily floated across a backyard.
The video shows a shadowy shape emerge seemingly from nowhere and then move around before disappearing.
'I haven't seen anything like it in a long time,' Ms Samuels said of the video.
'It has to be something. There is no other explanation that we can come up with.'
The growing number of locals who have experienced a dose of a freaky ghost has created a boom in paranormal enthusiasts in the area.
Aaron Mulligan, a would-be Bill Murray who lives in Toowoomba, set out to detect the town's famed 'lady in the red dress' - believed to be the ghost of Elizabeth Perkins, a resident who died in 1944.
Mr Mulligan headed to the train station and called out the names of people he believed died nearby, and therefore could be haunting the area. He recorded changes in 'electromagnetic energy' with a K2 meter, Mr Mulligan told Daily Mail Australia.
'We came across this one, I'm a bit of a history buff, and that train station has quite a past,' Mr Mulligan said.
'A lot of people have been killed at that station - in the 1920s and that sort of time, a lot of people were hit by trains. Elizabeth Perkins is one of them, so we went there are ran through the names of some of the people; when it got to her, the K2 meter lit up and then I asked if it was Elizabeth Perkins. Then there were footsteps and she definitely walked past.'
Mr Mulligan said he has been interested in ghosts and other supernatural activity since he was a funeral director in his late teens. He is a veteran of 'hundreds' of investigations, and said activity in Toowoomba is increasing.
Another man, Daniel Prentice, said he was attacked by a spirit in a cemetery.
'I was walking through like I do quite often, and there is a certain spot in there that I always get some strange feelings,' he said.
'That particular night we decided to stop there and investigate further. I started to become a little frustrated because I knew something there.
'Next thing I know I got pushed from a seated position in the middle of my back and I slid across the ground on my feet. I had marks on the middle of my back where I was pushed.'
A number of other profiles of people who have encountered ghosts have been published in Women's Day magazine.
Toowoomba's status as a tourist hot-spot for ghastly visitors is well known, with ghost hunters having visited the town as recently as 2013 when 'paranormal investigator' Darren Davies studied the Royal Bulls Head Inn - a pub in the town believed to be haunted.
'We have uncovered a lot,' Mr Davies said at the time, speaking to the Toowoomba Chronicle.
'And not all of it is nice. In fact, it has quite a dark history.
'There have been a number of sudden as well as natural deaths at the inn.'
Mr Mulligan said Toowoomba's history is what makes it a haven for spirits.
'It's one of the oldest towns in Queensland, and it has a violent past - it's like the wild west,' he said.
'Maybe there's a lingering presence from that bloody history.'
