Owner Andy Yates, 39, who has lived in the house by himself, has also experienced paranormal behavior, although he was a complete non-believer in anything ghostly. Upon walking downstairs one day he found steak knives balanced on plates in the drying rack, also claiming that once when he was in the house alone, he saw a child’s shadow come out of the fireplace and hover for about fifteen minutes. The child only disappeared when Yates plucked up the courage to move.
The earliest mention of the property Covell found was in Atkinson’s Trade Directory of Hull, dated 1888, featuring a man named Lee James at the property who built and renovated church organs. Covell found the building’s history to be unremarkable, stating that he had managed to trace several people who resided at the property and none of them had reported any activity.
However, ghost-hunters from Phantasmic Paranormal believe the problems with the property may date back much further to 1840. Why don’t you decide for yourself and get house haunting on Friday 13th?
