| Ashley Summers - Fears for safety |
Ashley Summers, 26, says she fears for her children’s lives after a series of unexplained spooky events.
They include mysterious voices, shoes flying across rooms and even a disappearing crucifix.
Desperate Ashley has even turned to spiritualists and a priest to try to rid her home, in Kirkintilloch, near Glasgow, ofthe ghostly goings-on – but to no avail.
She believes the restless spirit is trying to communicate through her four-year-old son David.
Ashley said: “When we first moved into the house everything was fine. Then, around three years ago, my ex-partner told me he heard a gasping voice and he said it swore at him. I didn’t believe him.
“Then David told me he was talking to a man in the room, who he described as being a bald man with an eye injury.
“I ignored him, thinking it was an imaginary friend.
“I am scared it will hurt my sons. The ghost has told David it will not hurt him – just everyone else.”
Ashley claims on one occasion the ghost told David to put a cover over a lightbulb to start a fire.
Her older son Lee, eight, removed it but he developed a mysterious heart-shaped burn on his hand the next morning, despite not hurting himself at the time.
Ashley has had the first-floor flat, in Friar’s Croft, blessed by a priest and organised visits from several spiritualists but none of them has been able to help.
They have tried several methods to exorcise the spirit, including leaving a crucifix in the house, but it mysteriously disappeared.
Ashley said one spiritualist told her the spirit was feeding off David’s energy, as well as from the fear it created among the adults in the house.
The mum finally decided to flee with her kids a few weeks ago after more strange goings-on.
She added: “We got chased out of the flat.
“When we opened the door it just kept shutting and the ghost was banging all the cupboard doors. We just had to leave.
“Once a shoe came out of nowhere, went flying past me and almost hit my face.”
During another encounter, Ashley felt someone trying to pull the covers off her bed, although there was no one else in the house at the time.
She said: “I could feel pressure while lying in bed. Before I knew it I was pulling my covers to hold on to them, but there was no one there.”
Ashley has since learned the previous tenant had to move out after experiencing similar spooky goings-on.
She said: “The girl who stayed in the flat before had to move out for the same reason.”
Ashley and her kids are set to be handed the keys to a new home in a couple of weeks.
Landlord Michael Devlin, of the Antonine Housing Association, promised: “When we get the keys back, we will do a full inspection.”
