A Lancashire man whose house has a chilling reputation for poltergeist activity claims he is being haunted by text messages from his dead wife...Jones explained: "Just after Sadie died... I got a missed call on my mobile, but it didn't ring. The call was from my own home number, but there was nobody in the house. Then when I went inside there was a smell like cigarettes which Sadie used to smoke and the smell of her perfume."
Jones said "She always had a mobile with her. We buried her with her phone. There have been messages with words Sadie would say but there's no number."
Is he a crank who wants some attention? Is he just imagining it, and what about all the poltergeist activity experienced by the family years before - did they make it all up, too?
I find stories like this one very spooky and slightly unnerving!
S-s-syzygy
house has a chilling reputation for poltergeist activityA reputation that he obviously wants to enchance.
I am sure when a loved one dies the mind plays games, smelling her perfume, the cigs etc is probably caused by him more conciously noticing what is missing from his life.
I do believe in some forms of the supernatural but texting, I think not. Wonder which operator she used....
Don't suppose he does tours does he. There is a whole industry based on haunted houses in the UK. But then maybe I am being a little too cyncial.

The people who owned the Amityville Horror house right after the murders made a lot of money off it. I understand that no owner since has seen anything unusual there.

Claim your restaurant or bed-and-breakfast is haunted and lots of free press can be had, especially around Halloween.
The 59-year-old had his house exorcised 12 years ago by Fleetwood Spiritualist Church because he believed he was being haunted by a spirit dubbed 'The Thing.'
Wow! "The Thing" wrote all over his arms and made him dress like a teenager from 1980:

In fact, in one apartment every single tenant, one after another, had stuff happen who had no knowledge of what had happened before they lived there.
