Ghost L1 The House of Terror Extract

The Carpenter family was forced to flee their new home in Birmingham after experiencing poltergeist activity. Their twin daughters Leah and Leonie heard a loud thump downstairs while home alone and found furniture moved and pictures hanging off walls. Later, appliances like the toaster and fridge began operating on their own. An exorcist determined an angry spirit was haunting the home due to renovations. Unable to stop the escalating paranormal events, the family put the "house of terror" up for sale but have received no offers, leaving them stuck living in the haunted property.
