A spooked family have called in a real-life 'ghostbuster' - after claiming to have captured on video a poltergeist moving a chair across a bedroom.  

Lisa Manning and her children Ellie, 11, and Jaydon, six, have fled their house in terror several times because of bizarre goings-on.

They include pots and pans being thrown around the kitchen, window blinds moving up and down by themselves, lights being switched on and off and drawers being opened.

Last week they were even forced to climb out of a window after being trapped in their living room when the door locked by itself.

Now they have been advised to wear crucifixes by a priest after capturing video footage of a chair moving by itself in Ellie's bedroom.

Carer Miss Manning, 34, shot the film two weeks ago after putting hidden cameras in the family's home in Holbrooks, an area of Coventry.

The 52-second clip shows a wardrobe door opening before a pink swivel chair moves slowly backwards towards the wall.

I was just about to post this xD. think the video is faked however. they dont show the bottom of the chair and the closet.

Can't watch this yet as I'm at work... however, even before I saw the previous post I would have put money on the bottom of the chair being out of shot.

Yep...you'd be right on.

My bet is they are being haunted by the ghost of a dead fashion designer.

Fled thier home in terror?

What about a chair moving and a door opening are terrifying exactly?

[Thurlow]

I believe this video is to be a fake. I agree with the cynics that the chair could easily have been moved by someone out of sight of camera, possibly hiding with a strong wire like "fishing line". The door opening could have also been staged as it does not open fully, giving space for a person to hide
behind it and open it slightly.

I'm pretty sure I heard the fishing line snap near the end hahaha

I agree at 00:36 you can hear someone cough, and during the time phase of 00:42 to 00:44 you can hear what sounds like someone casting the line in via a fishing rod. I have also done some fishing in the past where the line has snapped and at 00:45 it sounds exactly like that, as the chair possibly gets stuck on the items and the pressure on the line becomes to much, causing it to simply snap.

Isn't it curious that in ALL of the video's we ever see of "poltergeist activity", the camera angle NEVER shows us the totality of the object being 'moved'.

Hence - in this case - the bottom of the chair legs are out of sight, as is the lower rim of the wardrobe door. This leads to the suspicion - as voiced by earlier posters here - that string is involved.

I find this most frustrating.

At least the ghost could've pushed the chair back under the desk....how inconsiderate!

[FlyingAngel]

never in haunted house before, can't say much about it

My interpretation of this video clip is that the camera was set in a position to capture an image of an apparition of adult size , it would have made no sense to point the camera at a lower angle .

I have read of much stranger things happening in houses than furniture and cutlery being moved , and although I personally have not experienced such activity , the description in this article fits the behaviour of a disgruntled ghost announcing his presence , or poltergeist activity , in my opinion .
