Couple call in ghostbuster and vicar after claiming demonic poltergeist molests them in their sleep.
In a story reminiscent of the film Paranormal Activity, the Fry family of New Tredegar, South Wales say they have been molested by an evil poltergeist for months
A terrified family attacked in the night by a dreaded "incubus demon" have called a ghostbuster to get rid of the malevolent spirit.
In a story reminiscent of the film Paranormal Activity, the Fry family say they have been molested by an evil poltergeist for months.
Mum Tracey, 46, even says she is beaten up in the night by the phantom - leaving her covered with bruises in the morning.
In desperation her husband Keiron, 32, forked out £100 to a specialist to "cleanse" the house and has brought a vicar in to bless their cursed abode. The phantom, which has also been menacing the couple's three children, was summoned by a using a Ouija board in the house, they say.
That friend is no longer on speaking terms with the family.
Dad-of-three Keiron took a pic of the ghost in his sons' bedroom which he says shows a small child in a white gown with a blue face and a tail.
Keiron said: "We are being molested by demons.
"My wife goes to bed fine, doesn't feel anything in the night but when she wakes up she's in agony.
"I wake up the next day and said: 'I didn't do that. I would never beat my wife'.
The ghost has been terrorising the family at their three-bed terraced house in New Tredegar, South Wales, since Halloween last year.
Their cats have been left too frightened to go upstairs after the first floor was invaded by three ghosts including a dreaded incubus demon.
Keiron called a paranormal expert after the phantom told his children: "I'm going to slit your parents' throats".
His wife Tracy , who is a full-time carer, said: "It's getting worse and worse and there's nothing we can do.
"I wake up every morning in agony because of the demon.
"My husband rubs cream into my bruised back every day but the pain doesn't go away.
"We were told by the paranormal investigator that we have an incubus demon - the worst type of demon you can get.
"He told us we have three demons in total, the other two helped the main demon pin me down.
"It has affected our marriage because we have been rowing and fighting all the time about the demon.
It has been feeding off all the negative energy."
The family, who moved into their Housing Association property in July 2013, called in an investigator to tackle the spook.
Ghostbuster Robert Amour, 43, who charges £100 for a three-hour house "clearance", arrived at the house with a bible and crucifix.
He banned the petrified family from going upstairs after he shouted to them that he could "feel the evilness in the room."
After 20 minutes the psychic returned to the frightened family - claiming he had slain two small demons.
Mr Amour reportedly struggled with the third demon - who is still terrorising the helpless Fry family.
Church of Wales Vicar Johnathan Widdess has also visited the Frys to help them tackle the ghost.
He said: "He invited us there and we spoke about what was going on. We said a prayer to try and help him."
Stepson Nicholas Bush, 23, used the ouija board which summoned the ghoul - and is no longer on speaking terms with the Frys.
Armed police storm cafe in search of thief - which turns out to be 'ghost'
Officers armed with Tasers were called by the concerned owner after he spotted a shadowy suspect moving around on his CCTV cameras. Police officers stormed a cafe armed with Tasers after the owner spotted a burglar on CCTV.
But when the officers arrived at the premises it turned out the shadowy 'suspect' was a something a bit spookier. Michael Bristow, 50, dialled 999 after he noticed a sinister dark figure sneaking around his coffee shop on his live camera feed.
Four officers armed with Tasers rushed to Larders Coffee House in Louth, Lincolnshire, at 10.30pm on June 24, but there was no burglar and no sign of a break-in.
After examining the eerie CCTV footage again, Mr Bristow is convinced his coffee shop must be haunted.
Mr Bristow, who has three grown-up children and one grandson, said: "The CCTV infrared sensors detected movement so something strange is going on.
"I've looked at it several times on a larger screen and there are dark figures in the room and strange movements.
"It appears to show an average height figure wearing a T-shirt walking out of shot and a ripple appears on the camera.
"When police arrived they found no burglar and no sign of a forced entry. Nothing was stolen and nothing was disturbed, the police told me it must have been a ghost.
"Some of the girls who work here have noticed strange goings-on before.
"The local ghost walk does come past the coffee shop and stop outside. I think customers don't want to come in after that.
"It is a very old building, one of the oldest in the town. It is a converted warehouse and still has some of its old features like the old winch inside."
Waitress Ceejay Liles, 21, has noticed numerous ghostly goings-on at the cafe in the two years she has worked there.
She said: "One of our regular customers took part in a ghost walk in town and the guy from the ghost walk stopped out here as well.
"I think Michael used to just think there was always another explanation for these things, but now I think he believes it - even if he might not admit it."
And Sarah Clapson, 29, has worked at the cafe for two years.
She said: "There was a time when Ceejay was upstairs sorting an afternoon tea out and I was busy downstairs, but then I saw a light on my radio - me and my colleagues heard a little girl's voice.
"I thought it must have been Ceejay so I radioed back to see what she wanted, but she said she'd never radioed me - it creeped us out.
"A few years ago, Michael's son was staying here one night and saw a little girl on the landing.
"I often sense things, especially upstairs or on the landing where the kitchen is."
A spokeswoman for Lincolnshire Police said: "The owner of the coffee shop reported seeing a blur on the CCTV.
"The place was extensively checked and there was no sign of a break-in or suspicious activity, so it has been classed as a false alarm.
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.
The Rightmove listing for a Toxteth house which is reportedly haunted by a 135-year-old poltergeistThe Rightmove listing for a Toxteth house which is reportedly haunted by a 135-year-old poltergeist
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.
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.
Toowoomba Ghost Chasers has travelled around Toowoomba and the surrounding areas since it was created by Kylie Samuels and Katie Harvey, who hope they are the ones locals call when there's something strange in the neighbourhood. '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.'
Man claims his collection of dolls is HAUNTED by the spirits of dead people… including a seven-year-old girl who drowned in a lake and a governess burned in a fire.
Ian Rogers has spent hundreds of pounds on his collection of nine dolls
The dolls are said to be haunted with the spirits of dead people
He says each doll has their own unique story
He used to share them with his sister but she found them too mischievous
One man has curated a spooky collection of nine old dolls, which which he claims each have their own personalities.
Ian Rogers, 36, became hooked on all things paranormal as a child and took part in his first ghost hunt in the year 2000.
Since then he has spent hundreds of pounds on the creepy collection... and he's on the hunt for more to add.
'It started when I was a kid and I was looking into the Loch Ness Monster and ghosts.
'I went on a couple of ghost walks and then went on a hunt. It got me hooked.'
The £50 haunted dolls, which Ian gets from Jayne Harris, a professional in paranormal activity, are said to contain the spirits of people who have passed on.
Jayne keeps the dolls for around six months to get an idea of their personalities before selling them on.
Ian says that he always goes to Jayne for the dolls because that way he can be sure of their authenticity.
'I know that I can trust her,' he says. 'If I bought them from eBay then there's no guarantee that they're actually haunted and I could just be being ripped off.
'Jayne is able to give me a bit of background about the dolls but I enjoy learning about them myself.
Although he is fond of his whole collection Ian definitely has a favourite: Annabel, a doll who he believes is haunted by the spirit of a seven-year-old girl who drowned while playing with her brother.
Ian says that each of his dolls has their own story and he often asks others to try and figure out what might have happened to them.
Ian said: 'I take the dolls with me to events that I host and get people to guess their stories.
'If someone guesses three things that we already know correctly then they get some money off.
'One lady said she could sense an 'Annie' so I went to get Annabel. She said she'd died and felt trapped.
'As soon as she picked up the doll she said she felt soaking wet, and that she knew Annabel had drowned.'
Ian holds sessions with the dolls where guests interested in the paranormal can undertake a variety of activities.
The dolls were previously shared between Ian and his sister, but his sister wanted to get rid of them after they started causing her too much mischief, for example hiding her keys.
However Ian says that he hasn't been put off in the slightest and is even looking at investing in other supernatural souvenirs.
'I would love to get more haunted dolls, and I'm looking into other items. I would love to get a haunted mirror.'
Decorator catches ghostly doctor on camera while exploring haunted hospital
Jamie-Leigh Brown took chilling photo at St Thomas's Hospital, Stockport
She didn't realise at the time as her group were too spooked by footsteps
The building was once a brutal Victorian workhouse called The Grubber
It later became a hospital and treated thousands of psychiatric patients
A woman exploring a derelict hospital was left stunned after a photo she took in the spooky building appeared to show the ghostly figure of a doctor.
Jamie-Leigh Brown, 21, was walking the abandoned corridors of St Thomas's Hospital in Stockport - which closed down in 2004 - when she took the chilling picture.
She did not check the photo at the time as she and her and friends were too concerned with the footsteps they were hearing above them - despite the hospital having no usable staircases.
The group became spooked and fled the building after only a few minutes and it was not until later that Ms Brown discovered the haunting figure lurking in the background of the shot.
She told The Sun: 'It freaked me out. It's standing in a lift shaft. It's really creepy to think my friend was just heading towards the area where the ghost was.
'We'd only gone into the workhouse for a laugh and to look around. We kept hearing noises above us like shuffling and footsteps but hadn't actually seen anything.'
St Thomas's, formerly known as Shaw Heath Hospital, closed down more than a decade ago after treating thousands of psychiatric patients over the years.
The derelict building was once a Victorian workhouse known as The Grubber and three years ago it featured in an episode of paranormal investigation show Most Haunted.
Other sightings of ghoulish figures have been made at the site, including a 'radiant woman dressed as a nurse or a nun' according to paranormaldatabase.com - a website that lists reports of ghosts.
The original workhouse is thought to have been built in the 1841 to accommodate up to 690 inmates.
In 1894, the British Medical Journal set up a 'commission' to investigate conditions in provincial workhouses and their infirmaries.
On their visit to Stockport, the commission found that due to a trade depression, inmates in the workhouse were 'packed like sardines in a tin'.
The management of the hospital appeared to be 'completely without plan or method' and the female wards were 'comfortless and barnlike'. Many wards were so crowded as to present a serious danger in the case of fire.
A new infirmary was built in response in 1905 - and the workhouse later became the Shaw Heath Hospital, before becoming St Thomas's.
Since its 2004 closure, the site has now been acquired by Stockport College as part of their campus expansion.
The main workhouse building and some other blocks are planned to be retained and refurbished.
It is estimated around 25,000 people passed through the building's doors when it was brutal Victorian workhouse.
