A three bedroom terraced house is yours to rent for a bumper price - if you don't mind having a poltergeist as a housemate.

The property on Pickwick Street, Liverpool, has popped up on RightMove for just £91 per week, but there's a ghostly catch. The home is allegedly haunted by a 135-year-old ghoul called the Pickwick Poltergeist.

"Experts" say the spectre has been known to lift people out of their beds, and many previous tenants have reported "significant paranormal activity".

"Two singles, one double. Close to Tesco's. Please note previous tenants have advised us that they have experienced paranormal activity at the property."

"On one occasion my daughter Mikiela was shouting and screaming for me, and when I went upstairs she said someone had slammed her door shut and it frightened her," former tenant and mum-of-two Lekeisha Davis told the Liverpool Echo.

"Another time my mum and sister were there and a Lucozade bottle just flew across the room on its own.

"At the time you don’t piece these things together but I have never felt easy in that house and I didn’t like it so I decided to move out.

"I’ve always believed in ghosts, my nan used to tell me all about them but I’d never been scared of them. I wouldn’t sleep in my own room in the house though as I always felt uneasy in there.

"It was a cold house and I used to spend a fortune on gas - and now I realise that’s probably because of the ghost."

Local paranormal expert Tom Slemen said: "A landlady connected to the letting of Number 69, a Mrs Euphemia Nimlock, was also lifted out of her bed by the same violent spirit and, and another neighbour Ismael Jones (Number 70) was under the impression the house was going to collapse because of the vibrations.

"There have been stories about a very unusual poltergeist on Pickwick Street that date back to the 1880s at least."

Vintage Pictures Of 'Ghosts'

A photograph of a group gathered at a seance, taken by William Hope (1863-1933). The information accompanying the spirit album states that the table is levitating - in reality the image of a ghostly arm has been superimposed over the table-stand through double exposure. Hope's spirit album photographs use multiple exposure techniques to render the appearance of ghostly apparitions. Hope founded the spiritualist society known as the Crewe Circle and his work was popular after World War One when many bereaved people were desperate to find evidence of loved ones living beyond the grave. Although his deception was publicly exposed by a private investigator in 1922, he continued to practice. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)

A portrait photograph possibly taken by William Hope (1863-1933). A young woman's face appears as if floating above the sitters, draped in a cloak. Hope may have already held her photograph in his studio, or he may have asked the couple to supply photographs of deceased relatives under the pretence of using the image to contact the spirit world.

A photograph by William Hope (1863-1933). A woman's face appears above the couple - identified at the time as the sister of a man prominent in the Spiritualist Church. Her cloak adds to the ethereal effect. The signature in the upper left hand corner is by one of the sitters, to authenticate the plate. The couple are the parents of the person who compiled the spirit album. Hope's spirit album photographs use multiple exposure techniques to render the appearance of ghostly apparitions.

A photograph of Will Thomas, taken by William Hope (1863-1933). A man's face appears in a haze of drapery on the right of the photograph. Thomas, a medium from Wales, did not recognise the superimposed image. Thomas has signed the bottom of the photograph, 'Sincerely Yours Will Thomas' - perhaps this indicates a friendship with Hope. Hope's spirit album photographs use double and even triple exposure techniques to render the appearance of ghostly apparitions around the sitter.

If viewed from certain angles, glass on its own can act as a mirror. In the past this was used to create 'ghosts' on stage. The ghost was actually an actor under the stage. An angled plane of glass reflected light from the ghost towards the audience, who would see the ghost but not the glass. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
