Millionaire Flees Haunted Mansion

A millionaire businessman has become so spooked by the “haunted” £3.6m mansion he bought last year that he has handed the property back to the bank.


Anwar Rashid chased out by ghosts from his new home


Anwar Rashid, 32, described how he, his wife and their four young children lived in fear after they began hearing screams in the corridors shortly after moving into Clifton Hall.

They also claim to have seen apparitions and heard knocking on the wall of the 17-bedroom mansion in Nottinghamshire.

But it was the sight of blood spots on their 18-month-old son’s bed clothes that finally forced the family to abandon their luxury home, Mr Rashid said, comparing his experience to Nicole Kidman’s film The Others.

“We were like the family in The Others. The ghosts didn’t want us to be there and we could not fight them because we couldn’t see them,” he said.

“The day we moved in we had our first experience. We sat down in the evening to relax and there was a knock on the wall. We heard: ‘Hello, is anyone there?’

“We ignored it the first time but two minutes later we heard the man’s voice again. I got up to have a look but the doors were locked and the windows were closed.

“On another occasion my wife went downstairs to make milk for the baby at 5am and she saw our eldest daughter watching television.

“She said her name but she wouldn’t respond. My wife realised something was up, so she went back upstairs to check on her and found her fast asleep in her bed.

“When we found red blood spots on the baby’s quilt, that was the day my wife said she’d had enough. We didn’t even stay that night. It was the last straw, we felt that they had come to attack us. It was really emotional.”

Clifton Hall, which dates back to the Norman conquest, has 17 bedrooms, 10 reception rooms, 10 bathrooms, a gym and a cinema.

Mr Rashid, who is worth £25m and made his money through a chain of nursing homes, said: “I am now looking at a new property in Nottingham. I don’t think I will ever buy an old building again because of what has happened.”
