Couple claim ‘evil spirit’ drove them out of home

A MEDIUM has been called in to cleanse a “haunted” house after a young couple claimed that an “evil spirit” forced them out of their dream home.

Six months’ pregnant Laura Burke and her fiance Richie Hewitt vowed last night never to return to 18 Hollywood Estate, off the Blarney Road on Cork’s northside.

“I can’t move back in,” a terrified Laura said yesterday during her first visit to the house in three weeks.
