A WINSFORD woman called in paranormal investigators to help banish an evil spirit controlling her life.

In 2018, mum-of-four Sadie turned to a witch following the death of her aunt in the hope that some psychic readings would help her to cope with her loss.

However, since then a ‘dark entity’ has taken over Sadie’s semi-detached Victorian house, even pushing her to impulsively tattoo the word ‘insane’ on her own face.

She said: “I feel a big male presence. He feels very, very large. I always feel like he's very, very close, stood next to me.

“I've seen lots and lots of shadows running past quite quickly, scratching upstairs. My children do wake up a lot in the night crying.”

Sadie added: “When we first moved here it was very light and spacious, lots of cream walls.

“But since the witch visited, bit by bit, I’ve changed most rooms to dark grey and black.

“I have changed my appearance quite a lot. I never used to have tattoos. I impulsively had ‘insane’ tattooed on my face, which my mum absolutely hates.

“She thinks that the house has some influence on the way that I now dress and look, and it’s pushed us apart. The minute she comes in this house we start to clash.”

In the latest episode of Help! My House is Haunted, which premiered last Friday (September 20), Sadie calls in the help of paranormal investigators Barri Ghai, Jayne Harris and Ian Shaw.

Upon entering Sadie’s home, psychic medium Ian said: “Woah. You can feel the energy.

“It feels heavy, you can taste it. I'm concerned that potentially we could be dealing with something quite negative, which is worrying.”

After meeting with Sadie and her mother Annette, the team decided to stay the night in an attempt to connect with any spirits lurking.

Cameras were placed all around the property with a structured light sensor (SLS) camera set up to detect any anomalies and displays them as stick figures.

One moment captured on camera sees the attic door slam shut unexpectedly, 'trapping' Bari.

Later on in the evening, the team use an Alice Box to try and communicate with the entity.

As the team call out questions, the spirit seemingly responds by flashing up lights on to a speaker in the bedroom.

They decide that the only way to banish the spirit from the property is to sever the tie it has with Sadie, prompting Jayne to perform an 'ancient cord cutting ritual'.
