    A council has paid £60 for a medium to exorcise a poltergeist from a tenant's home after paranormal activity was reported at the property.

    Suzanne Hadwin was called in after Peterlee tenant Sabrina Fallon said the household had experienced moving objects, banging noises and cold air.

    Miss Fallon, 23, had even called police after loud noises terrified her children, Shannon, nine, and Amie, 16 months.

    A spokesman for Easington Council in County Durham said they paid half the psychic's fee, as it was the most cost-effective solution.

    The family had been left traumatised by the strange goings-on and wanted to leave the house in Basingstoke Road.

    The council considered re-housing them in temporary accommodation but this would have cost up to £40 per night.

    Happily for Miss Fallon, she now believes the mischievous spirit has gone and the house has been left with a "lovely atmosphere".

    She said: "It all started before Christmas. We were away and my sister's husband had the keys.

    "He let himself in one night and heard whispering and banging from upstairs. He shouted out, 'You better get out or I'm calling the police.'

    "He said my dressing gown then came floating down the stairs and landed at his feet.

    "He ran out and rang me, crying like a girl, saying something awful had happened - I thought he was drunk, but when we came back we heard the bangs and whispering."

    A council spokeswoman said: "This is the first time we have had to take such a measure. However, the tenants were extremely distressed at the time and we therefore believed it was the most appropriate course of action."

    Yeah I saw that and blogged about it but seeing as I wasn't posting I couldn't throw it up.

    Anyway, she went to the council becasue she couldn't afford it - they paid but if they hadn't would Suzanne Hadwin have refused t o help if she wasn't getting paid?

    I'm looking for contact details and I'm gonna ask her.
