Terrified staff have called in a medium over fears their shop is haunted by a gran who hates skimpy outfits.
Seven workers at fashion store New Look heard mystery bangs, footsteps and whisperings.
Spiritual medium Linda Helliker poured cleansing salt on the floor and tried to communicate with a prudish widow named Gladys.
The strange happenings began when staff in Sidmouth, Devon, entered an unused storeroom.
They discovered it used to be Gladys’ bedroom when the building was a hotel three decades ago.
Shop manager Lisa Jordan said: ““That room is normally out of bounds but we had to unlock it because a health and safety visitor came to check it out.
“Ever since then we’ve heard banging noises even though nobody is up there.
“When we’ve been in the stockroom we’ve heard footsteps coming down the stairs. We’ve even heard a strange swooshing that almost sounded like a disapproving sigh.
“One girl heard a whispering in her ear and she got so scared she ran into a table. Another of my girls felt someone breathing on their neck.
“It’s really weird and quite frightening.”
Medium Linda, whose son Deej works at the store, said she felt the “energy of an elderly lady”, adding: “I think she disapproved of too many bare bellies on display.”
Manager Lisa added: “Before she left, the medium asked us to put some flowers in the room as a nice gesture.
“When we checked on them later the flowers were on the floor and the cup we put them in was smashed.
“Thankfully it’s been fairly quite since then so hopefully she’s made her peace with us.
“Apparently Gladys had a Yorkshire terrier - so if he we see clothes hopping around the store by themselves it’s just the dog wanting to play with us.”
