Yahoo News Coronation Street star Simon Gregson calls in paranormal experts over ghost
Coronation Street actor Simon Gregson has spoken before about how he believes his house is haunted, and now he's called in paranormal experts.
The star, who plays Steve McDonald in the ITV soap, will meet up with ghost hunter Barri Ghai, psychic medium Ian Lawman and paranormal researcher Jayne Harris in the Discovery+ series Celebrity Help! My House is Haunted.
Speaking about the reality show, Gregson told TV Times magazine: "My wife Emma, my eldest son, Alfie, and I have seen a woman who's dressed in white and crosses the landing by the stairs.

"One time, about 1:30am, I saw her go across. First I thought it was Emma coming in after a night out with her friends.
"When I rang to ask if it was her, she replied, 'No, you're going to tell me you've seen a woman crossing the landing, aren't you? I've seen her, too!'"
He explained that he wanted the experts to find out who the ghosts were by looking into the history of the house and the area, and hopefully get rid of them.
"As soon as the team set up their equipment, they were picking up the voices of the spirits," he said.

"They discovered that in the late 1800s, a woman called Sarah Ann, her baby and her mother, Susanna, had all been murdered near our house by Susanna's husband and Sarah Ann's stepfather, William.
"Sarah Ann had given birth out of wedlock and the women were found in their nightdresses, and our house is on the old brickworks where William worked.
"Ian thought the woman in white was Sarah Ann. It was startling to hear because it's a horrific story."
The actor also told the publication that since the experts visited, there haven't been any sightings in the house.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
