Theresa Pearce, of Barrowby Road, believes she has taken a photo of the ghost of a boy in her home.

The picture, taken two years ago, shows the outline of a face and shoulders spotted in the cellar.

Theresa has also drawn pictures of another two spirits, Theo and Cyrus, she believes haunt the building.

A medium has confirmed Theresa's descriptions.

She said: "My friends call my house the next Amityville. We've had swinging lights, banging and growling.

"I don't know why we went down into the cellar that day - I suppose we were just drawn to it. When I was looking through the photos I couldn't believe what I saw."

Ronald Gray, of Canberra Crescent, has revealed that the bottom of his garden is haunted by a monk – but he's too scared to go down there after nightfall to see it.

But he has seen a number of other spooks over the years. The first was when he was a child, when he saw the spirit if his father who was asleep in another room in the holiday caravan they were staying in.

Ronald said: "A spirit and a ghost are the same except for their eyes - if you see their eyes it's absolutely terrifying. They stare straight at you and it's like they've got a fire behind them."

Among the other ghosts and spirits he has heard of are Roman soldiers and monks said to roam Harrowby, a floating woman in Beacon Lane, a stagecoach that can be heard in Harrowby, a strange floating mist seen near Ancaster and a woman in black at Prince William of Gloucester barracks.

Ronald said: "I've got four outside lights at my house because I'm so scared."
