'I am getting out of this house!': Man captures the moment a 'ghost' throws a cup at him

Chloe Chaplain29 July 2016

A man from Abbey Wood who claims he has seen spirits outside his home has captured a "ghost" in his kitchen.

Ian Hawke has released a video of the spooky presence allegedly throwing crockery around as he monitors it with paranormal detection equipment.

Mr Hawke, an actor who lives on Overton Road, decided to try and film the ghost after spotting someone on his home CCTV.

"It all started when I saw an image of a ghost outside the front of my house on my CCTV.

"We have some weird things going on in the home, like lights going off and on and I have heard children crying which I thought were my kids but then I check on them and they are asleep.

"I have always been a sceptic myself so just thought the lights were power surges and that maybe the children are talking in their sleep.

"But when I saw the person on the CCTV, I decided to get someone in to try and see what was going on."

In the video, Mr Hawke, 42, first attempts to engage with the spirit for a "chat".

He is heard saying: "Come on please show. Anything, please, anything."

Shortly after a cup is flung off the kitchen surface onto the floor, followed by a plate.

Mr Hawke reacts with panic and his heard shouting: "I am getting out of this f****** house."

He said people had accused him of staging the whole thing, adding: "I am an actor and I do pranks as well so people just think it's fake and that is why I was doubious about putting it up.

"They accused me of pulling the cup off with fishing wire, but why would I make it up? If they had been there and saw it happen they would believe it."

Mr Hawke said that his neighbours have also experienced supernatural activity in their homes and believes it is due to the area's history.

He said: "Aparrently this used to be a sacred place where people were buried because there was a monastery behind where the houses are.

"I don't know what it is but there is a lot of strange stuff going on around here."
