‘We live in a haunted house'

'Our Ghost knew I was having a baby boy' - LAINEY

I always hoped that spirits existed, but never saw anything until my mum died. I was in my early twenties and soon after she passed, she came to me in a dream and said, “I’m here to tell you I’m OK and I’m happy.” It was so real and I’ve felt settled ever since, knowing she’s not suffering any more.

I met Ben when I was 31, having just left my husband of 13 years. We were teaching in the same school and bonded immediately – after I had given him a telling off for not doing his job properly!

We moved in together three months later, in the summer of 2018. Our little house was perfect but odd noises kept us up at night. We’d hear footsteps on the stairs and despite it being a new build, we put it down to creaky floorboards and cooling pipes.

Then subtle sounds became a whole lot scarier. One afternoon, Ben was out and I was happily relaxing in the bath when I heard a male voice call my name.

I froze – maybe it was the old tenants? Nervously, I called out, “Who’s there?” but the house was silent.

I was shaken to the core, but I didn’t tell Ben. We were still in the early days of our relationship and I didn’t want to seem like a madwoman!

But that all changed just a few weeks later. We’d just finished dinner and popped the telly on, ready for a chill evening on the sofa. Out of nowhere, our pot plant shifted across the shelf in front of us and dropped to the floor.

We both stared in disbelief – the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. We couldn’t deny it now, our house had a poltergeist.
