If you're planning to spend the night indulging in some Halloween fun with the family, spare a thought for one family who claimed their life was turned upside down by a malevolent spirit.
In the mid-1980s, the Liverpool ECHO ran a front page story on one terrified family after it was reported they had been forced to leave a 'house of evil'. The house, on Conleach Road in Speke, was supposedly the scene of poltergeist activity which terrorised a mum and her teenage daughter.
'Poltergeist' is a German word for "rumbling ghost" or "noisy spirit". Some believe reports of the phenomena to be a type of ghost capable of causing physical disturbances, such as loud noises and even moving or destroying objects.
