Ormskirk is home to the world’s most haunted house - says Derek Acorah
by Kathryn Carr, Ormskirk Advertiser
HE may have carried out paranormal investigations across the globe, but spirit medium Derek Acorah says the world’s most haunted house is right here in Ormskirk.
The famous psychic, who is currently on tour around the UK, said the property, which is near Ormskirk Golf Club, has more “spiritual activity” than anywhere else he has visited.
Derek, who lives in Scarisbrick, shot to fame on Living TV’s Most Haunted, before getting his own series, which has seen him exploring haunted buildings all over the world.
But none of them have been as spooky as the Ormskirk house.
He said: “It is the most spiritually active place I have been to, and I have done thousands of investigations over the years.
“And it’s not just residual energy – it’s people from the spirit world coming back; people who have owned the home over time, and who have been so happy there that they keep coming back.”
But according to Derek, there is a sinister side to the home.
He said: “There was a tunnel going from that property into another property, and some despicable things took place in that tunnel.
“The place is alight with spirit people. It was mid-afternoon when I visited it and the sun was shining. I saw two spirit people – one was walking across the yard. I shouted and it took no notice of me, just carried on walking and then disappeared. Then I saw a young lady in period dress. Normally you can be at a location for hours before anything happens, but this was all in the first five minutes! Every spirit person I connected with said ‘Tell them we are not here to cause any trouble, we loved this place. We just keep coming back to see what’s happening here.’”
Derek, who has written several books on the paranormal world, says he first realised his psychic talent aged six. He was once called in to the Scarisbrick Arms pub on Black-a-moor Lane to deal with some rather “irritated” spirits.
He said: “I was confronted by a spirit man, and there was a woman there, too. I think she was part of a family that had lived on Black-a-moor Lane - she was a very friendly person.
“At times they were getting irritated when rowdy people were coming into the pub at the weekend! They didn’t mind the people in the week because they were nice people. They were causing all kinds of mischief in the place - beer kegs in the cellar were going ‘pop’ and all kinds!”
