Simon Gregson says 'woman dressed in white' haunts his house

Simon Gregson insists a “woman dressed in white” is haunting his house.

The ‘Coronation Street’ star and his family - including his wife Emma Gleave, 39, and his three sons, Alfie, 15, Harry, 13, and Henry, six - appeared on the Discovery+ paranormal series, ‘Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted’ and revealed how they have spotted a lady on the “landing by the stairs”.

The 48-year-old soap star said: “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!’

“Alfie has seen the most, though. He’s told us he’s seen a woman outside his room and what looked like the heads of children poking around the door.”

Simon explained to the ghostly experts Barri Ghai, a ghost hunter, Ian Lawman, a psychic medium, and Jayne Harris, a paranormal researcher.

He added: “We moved here in 2007, and, three years later, spooky things started happening. I would call myself a sceptical believer – I believe in it but I need concrete evidence to make me 100 per cent.

“I’ve always been interested in paranormal activity, though. I’ve always thought, ‘It can’t just be us here – there’s got to be something else, right?’”

He admitted he wants to “know exactly” what he and his family have on their hands.

Simon said: “I wanted to know exactly what we’ve got here, so, hopefully, we could put the whole thing to rest and get rid of the ghosts!

“What appealed to me was that the experts go into the whole history of the house and the local area.

“As soon as the team set up their equipment, they were picking up voices of the spirits.”
