It was the 1950's General Havlock Road, Ford Estate in a council house. Not long
after moving into the house the Dixon family started to complain that it was
haunted. They said that things happened at different times, they would hear a
loud knock at the door but no one was ever there, they were grabbed by ghostly
hands, door handles moved, bedclothes were removed when they were sleeping, the
rooms would turn icy cold, the husband felt a hand digging in his side as he lay
in bed and they heard noises coming from the chimney.
When a local councillor called to see them he swore that as he gazed at a
picture, it's landscape changed appearance. The vicar of St Luke's Pallion and
the Bishop of Jarrow attempted to remove the spirits and cleanse the house, but
if it worked we do not know. But what we do know is the house was once used for
Spiritual Meetings, could this have something to do with the Hauntings?
