Council house exorcism was ‘cheapest option’

A COUNCIL yesterday defended its decision to pay £60(€80) to rid a tenant’s home of a poltergeist, saying it was the cheapest option.

Easington Council in County Durham employed medium Suzanne Hadwin after Peterlee tenant Sabrina Fallon reported paranormal activity including moving objects.

Ms Fallon, 23, had called police after hearing bangs that terrified her children, Shannon, nine, and Amie, 16 months.
