A COUPLE have called in professional ghost hunters in a bid to rid their
home of spirits which are making their lives "a living hell."
Richard W! And Debbie S! Decided on the drastic action after they experienced
a series of strange happenings in their home in G! Street, Padiham.
And their experiences have been filmed by a television company for a future
programme due to be shown next year. (This was only
a possibility)
“We started hearing strange noises and we saw things like cutlery move,
Passers by have told us they have seen people in the house when we were out
and now we are frightened to be in the house,” said Mr. W!.
The couple say they are so scared that now they will not let their two children,
C! (four) and J! (two) sleep in the house at night.
“It's like a living hell” said Mr. W!, “At first we thought
the noises were just the heating system playing up, but then strange things
started to happen and now we are scared of coming through the door in case
something happens to us physically,” said Mr. W!.
The couple turned to paranormal investigators Angie and Mark Riley from Abbey
Ghost Hunters in Scarborough for help and their fears have been backed up
by the duo.
“We have done tests using specialist equipment and there definitely spirits
in the house'” said Mr. Riley, “We have done held seances to try
and move the spirits on, but there is one which is quite dominant and will
not leave.”
“Richard is quite a sensitive person and can therefore feel the presence,
whereas other people may not. There have been instances of him feeling he
is being strangled and Debbie has been pulled out of bed,” added Mr.
Riley.
Now the investigators are backing the couples bid to move house (please
note this is rare for us to do this and have only done this twice in well
100 cases) and are to write a letter of support to Calico in a bid
to have the family moved.
“The only way for Richard and Debbie to stop experiencing these feelings
is to move them out of the house and we will be helping them put a case to
Calico in the near future,” added Mr. Riley
