Chuckle Brother home ‘haunted’ by murderer
KIDS telly legend Paul Chuckle found it no laughing matter by claims his home was being haunted by a murderer.
The team from Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted visited his 17th century barn in Nottinghamshire.
Paul said: “My wife Sue and I heard sounds like a child giggling through the wall and one night I saw a child at the end of the bed. A few days after that I went to the downstairs loo and saw a little hand mark on the wall – it had been flushing itself.”
Upon investigating the paranormal experts said they contacted the spirit of a child named Daniel, thought to have been murdered by 1870s burglar Charles Pace, the ghost of Pace himself and the spectre of his lover Sue Rayner.
Paul says: “Pace probably came because a Sue moved back in the building and she’s with some other fella! It was amazing to find out. The house is 380 years old.
“Charlie was a bit of a multimurderer and since she was dobbing him in he killed Sue, and the little boy who caught them at it in the loft, which is where our bedroom is now.”
At the end of the episode a camera light, with full battery switched itself off as the team played back the Alice box, a gadget used to record the voice of spirits. It translates ghost voices into words – and said the other half of the Chuckle brothers’ famous Chucklevision catchphrase “To Me, To You” after Paul called it out to his late brother Barry.
The star also said the spirit of his screen partner, who died in 2018, “jumps” into him when he now performs solo.
He added: “We’re together working as one. It’s a great comfort.”
