Council pay for Medium to... A council has paid £60 for a medium to exorcise a poltergeist from a tenant's home after paranormal activity was reported at the property. Suzanne Hadwin was called in after Peterlee tenant Sabrina Fallon said the household had experienced moving objects, banging noises and cold air. Miss Fallon, 23, had even called police after loud noises terrified her children, Shannon, nine, and Amie, 16 months. A spokesman for Easington Council in County Durham said they paid half the psychic's fee, as it was the most cost-effective solution. The family had been left traumatised by the strange goings-on and wanted to leave the house in Basingstoke Road. The council considered re-housing them in temporary accommodation but this would have cost up to £40 per night http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91059-1305282,00.html mad!
saw this in Look North. apparently, it was 2 days before christmas when the charver was complaining - so it was either the medium (cheap) or stick her in B&B (expensive) for a few weeks to shut her up. i think it was a good descision!!! blatantly trying it on...
