Ghost hunters think they’ve found ancient spirit

Stinky fruit forces closure of post office

Ghost hunters believe they have found proof that a 19th century spirit is haunting a castle in Ireland.

The spirit is said to be that of Walter Peter Lambert, and footage claims to confirm that he spooks the Castle Ellen House.

Lambert was part of the wealthy family who owned the house and died back in

1892.

Richard Morrison, the co-founder of Paranormal Supernatural Investigations Ireland, said: “On the day of his death, maids were cleaning his bedroom. One looked out of the window and said, ‘The master has returned’. He was on foot, which was unusual as he travelled by coach. He had already been dead for some hours before this.”

Morrison also claimed that a horse and carriage carrying Lambert’s remains refused to enter the castle, and that a second team of horses also refused, hinting the ghostly presence of Lambert.

A post office was evacuated as a result of a package of stinky fruit. Police and fire crews were called to the office in the German town of Schweinfurt on the weekend after workers reported a suspicious smell from a package.

Police claimed that 12 Deutsche Post employees were complaining of illness from the stench, with six taken to a local hospital as a precaution.

Investigators prised open the package to discover it contained durian, a Thai fruit known for its disgusting smell. The odour has been compared to rotten food and dirty socks.

The fruit, which is popular due to its flavour despite the smell, was eventually delivered safely.

In a statement, Schweinfurt police said: “Due to the unknown content, it was initially unclear whether the suspect package posed a greater risk.”
