MIDLANDS MOTHER CLAIMS HOME IS HAUNTED


A spooked mum is calling on a Midland housing association to re-home her and her family – because she claims their terraced house is haunted.

Stacey McGill has told how the spiritual presence randomly flicks electric lights on and off, moves posters around the walls, causes the floorboards to creak, and leaves a creepy feeling of cobwebs on her skin.

Her chilling allegations have been supported by Spiritual Medium and Paranormal Investigator Dave Vickers.

While visiting Stacey’s home Dave felt the ghost run through his body and allowed the spirit to communicate with Stacey by writing a scrawled message – which Dave concluded was friendly.

Stacey, aged 29, moved in to the property in School Street, Loughborough, owned by East Midland Housing, last December with her partner fork lift driver Carl, aged 25, and 18 month-old daughter, Chelsey.

She said: “We came back from the shops yesterday and as I went to get some cereal the light went on without anyone touching the switch. It’s so unnerving.

“I noticed that something was there when I moved in straight away. I just felt cobwebs all over my skin. I knew it wasn’t right. Then Carl said that he had felt the same.

“Next the microwave started going on and off by itself and posters have moved around the walls.

“One morning we were woken at 3am by the sound of maintenance works. It was so loud. But there were no work men, it was the ghost.

“I contacted Dave Vickers who came out. He confirmed that there is a presence here.

“We were in a flat around the corner before. We didn’t have any problems there. I just want the housing association to find me somewhere to live that isn’t haunted.

“The last tenant did not experience anything. But some people are more susceptible to ghosts than others. I have felt paranormal presences before.”

Dave, from TSL Holistic Centre, twice visited Stacey’s home with Carly Adams from the Female Paranormal Investigation team to examine her claims.

The pair used infrared night vision camcorders, EMF metres to measure electrical magnetic frequency and digital cameras.

Dave said: “On entering the house I was immediately aware of energy at the end of the hall way, the energy presented itself as a male, and kept saying ‘I am at the back’.

“A lot of the activity occurred to the back of the property, mainly the rear bedroom. Going up the stairs the male energy made his presence more known, cold spots were experienced.

“I picked up on a man in his late thirties, however his mental age was a lot lower, he was a recluse and was kept hidden away during his younger days by his parents.

“They were embarrassed due to his mental disability.

“I picked up on the name ‘Nigel’. He eventually turned to drink to forget his own fears of life.

“This spirit energy means no harm to anyone and will not harm anyone. Further investigations into the haunting may be needed.”

It was during Dave’s second visit that he sensed, clairvoyantly, that the spirit wanted to communicate.


“I allowed the spirit to use me as a medium and give any messages through writing. This was carried out in the dark. I sat with paper on my lap and pen in hand in the dark while turning into spirit.

“I pictured Nigel in my mind and my hand started moving the pen.

“Although when we examined the writings things are hard to make out, both Carly and I felt he meant no harm.

“I conveyed love and light to him and told him that he had nothing to fear and that he was free of those hurtful feelings.”

Dave found that the posters and creaking floor boards could be explained by natural occurrences.

Graeme Stewardson, head of housing at East Midlands Housing Association, said: “We are aware of the unusual activities reported by Ms McGill and have listened to her concerns in a sensitive manner.

“We understand that she has previously sought advice from specialists in this field. We will continue to offer Ms McGill our support and advice as a landlord.

“There have been only three tenants, including Ms McGill, in the property in the last 13 years, and we have not had any reports of this nature before.

“As far as we know, the house does not have an unusual history.“
