He said: “I thought it was weird but I never ever said another word to anyone, not my mum, not my brother, no one,” “It was only later, when I was about 16 that I was talking to my mum and she told me about the problems our neighbours had once had with lodger.
“This lodger next door was in the room on the opposite side of the wall to my room, and he would never let the owner of the house go in to clean the room.

“When he moved out they found out he had been doing ouija boards and this bloke with a top hat and a black silhouette started haunting their house walking up and down the stairs. The neighbour had to get a priest in to bless the house.”
He added: “I told my mum I had seen him when I was four and I got battered for not telling her sooner. She said she would have got the priest in our house too.”
