Kyle Thompson, who is part of paranormal investigating team, Soul Reapers, recently visited the address on the Chequerfields estate where the poltergeist of the 16th century monk is said to have resided.

The home on East Drive has been the subject of many a spooky story and even the 2012 movie, When The Lights Go Out, about the family who say they were tormented by the spirit in 1960s.

And the results clearly show some kind of eerie outline next to Kyle.

Wakefield ghost hunter, Mark Vernon, who sent the photos and video to the Express, said: “As you can see, the door is closed behind him and that the door is wooden so will not cast a reflection.

“I do believe its the best of all the monk photo’s taken so far from this haunted house.”
