After setting up a camera in the tot’s room they claim eerie “orbs” appeared on film and were so spooked they all began sleeping in the same room. An official house change form was filled in by Your Homes Newcastle with a one-word reason – ghosts.

Now, after meeting with the council property managers, Kim spoke of her relief after being told that she, Matthew, 18-month-old Thomas, and five-year-old Chloe can move out and into another home nearby in Newbiggin Hall, Newcastle.

“I am relieved, but I feel quite sad at the same time – this is our home,” said Kim.

“It’s been our first proper home together but now we’ve got to pack up and move on . . . and hope that whatever it is that’s been haunting us doesn’t follow.”
