Joanne Jordan, 42, of Manthorpe, searched the attic rooms and the gardens, and said she sensed a number of ghosts, from General Sir Brian Wyldbore-Smith to a young girl she believes jumped to her death from an attic window.

While walking through the gardens, Joanne claimed she felt the presence of dogs rushing past her legs. A keeper of the grounds later showed her an old plaque in a neighbouring garden dedicated to the memory of pets who had belonged to the house's tenants over the years.

Joanne has been a psychic medium for almost 15 years, releasing trapped spirits and helping people contact their loved ones through angel readings.

She said: "People come for a message from their loved one or they want to know their future.

"They want answers and I always say to them that a spirit can't live their life for them but the may take their advice from the other side, as they would have done if they were still here."
