The Crown recreates one of the last ever photos of Princess Diana on Mohamed Al-Fayed's yacht just a week. Even this was tame in compared to the night that Dianne was dragged up the stairs by an invisible force. A pivotal battle was fought here during the English Civil War, which ended a Parliamentarian siege of nearby Pontefract Castle. Ordinarily poltergeists aren’t known for causing grevious bodily harm, and although Fred caused a few bruises and scrapes and lot of heart stopping scares, in particular to Diane – seemingly the focus of the haunting – it is rare for a poltergeist to become excessively violent and cause physical harm. The house has seen many tragedies, including children's deaths, and a plague that wiped out most of the Wampanoag population out in the woods.

This consideration ensures that the narrow 30 East Drive remains unobstructed and parking doesn’t interfere with the bus route. Jean and Joe Pritchard moved into the unassuming house with their son Phillip, 15, and daughter Diane, 12, in 1966. Nick, 37, had another paranormal investigator over to his home – which he has since sold – and she told him the spirits had come from Hinsdale House. My co-host Katrina, she got scratched too at one point so it got really scary as it escalated through our investigation of a hundred hours.

There was an exorcism done there which tried to rid the house of the hauntings, because it’s not attached to any one person, but the building itself. They also saw pools of water collecting on the floor, despite the fact that no source for the water was visible. Pinpointing it further to the Black Monk, a Clunaic monk who was hung for the rape and murder of a young girl. Although the finer details are subject to artistic license, the essence and events of the story were not. It's also said that a stream or brook used to run through the site of the house, no such stream is shown on any old maps, they would usually be marked in at least one version of maps of the area over the years.

The spirits that roam within 30 East Drive are thought to be no mere whispers of the past – they could be an active and potent force, leaving an indelible mark on all who seek their otherworldly presence. The film is set in the 1960s and its makers have done a great job of recreating life in that period in a council house in the north of England, from clothing, to props and lifestyle this movie feels very real.Nick said he managed to get the ghosts away from him so they would leave his own home, and said the only way to do this is to actually ask them to stay away from you. Common types of reported activity include foul smells, disembodied voices, scratches and other physical attacks, unexplained light anomalies, nausea and shadowy figures. Jean, Joe, Phillip (15) and Diane (12) Pritchard moved into Number 30 East Drive, Pontefract in August 1966. This location offers an optional sleepover at no extra cost, which can be decided upon on the night.

The Black Monk lived some time in the sixteenth century in and around the area the East Drive estate stands today.

The final straw arrived when Diane had an unseen hand grab her by her throat, dragging her up the stairs. Over their 72-hour confinement, Nick and Katrina watch helplessly as their cameraman is savagely bitten. Nick Groff and Katrina Weidman immerse themselves in the vast Drakelow Tunnels, a former top secret underground military complex beneath Kingsford Country Park north of Kidderminster, Worcestershire. Built in 1893 by the Sisters of Providence, this former facility is currently a decrepit building filled with the spirits of patients who died from the flu epidemic that swept through the state in the late 1900s.
