'I left my job to work with the dead - I've been seeing spirits since childhood'

Rita Haworth was just nine-years-old when she felt it for the first time. Her parents had gone out for the night and her aunt was babysitting. Lying in bed, the young girl was uneasy. She knew something bad was about to happen.
