Mum Heather was horrified when her baby woke from a nap with scratches on her cheek and then caught a ghostly figure near her crib
A young couple say they felt they had no choice but to look for a new home due to a violent spirit after they caught a ghostly figure walking past their daughter’s crib.
Mum Heather Brough had woken her one-year-old baby Lily Higgins from a nap and taken her downstairs when she found three deep ‘purple scratches’ on her cheek. Heather, who was living with her partner Josh Higgins, at his mum Kris’ guesthouse claims the unexplained injuries prompted them to check the baby camera to see if she had scratched herself while sleeping. But when they reviewed the footage, they discovered a male figure briskly walking past Lily’s cot before disappearing into thin-air.
The pair ended up actively looking for a new home to get away from the ‘haunted’ property – after investigators confirmed the house had ‘paranormal activity’. Kris claimed the former owner of the home was an elderly lady who lay with a broken hip for ‘a very long time’ until she was found dead at the bottom of the stairs. Her brother lived in the guesthouse until his death some years later.
Heather, from Michigan, US, said: “This is a spirit – I don’t know what its intentions are but at this point it’s becoming physically harmful. This has made us want to leave as soon as possible. As soon as possible we’re out of here. Seeing Lily’s face with the scratches was so bizarre and frightening. There was no explanation as to how that would have happened. It happened within 20 minutes.
