A minister has performed a second exorcism at a haunted house in Scotland yesterday.

According to residents the ghostly goings-on got worse following his first attempt.

The Reverend Keith Mack performed special blessings at the property a fortnight ago.

But he was called back when Vicky Dann and her daughters, Jenna, 18, and Emma, 11, continued to see ghosts in the house in Dalkeith, Midlothian.

Mr Mack, of the town’s St John’s and King’s Park Church, spent about an hour saying prayers in each room yesterday.

He said: “We have blessed a few houses, and it seems to have done the trick. However, it doesn’t seem to have worked fully here.”

Vicky, 40, said the family started seeing ghosts, including a man in a black suit and a blonde in a white nightie, about two years ago.

She said: “Every time we take pictures in the house we either get orbs or people we don’t know in them. Sometimes you can sense that somebody is watching you.”

Mr Mack said if the second exorcism failed to work, he would speak to other ministers to “see what they would do”.

Vicky wasn’t too hopeful that the blessings would drive out the spirits, saying: “After the minister was here the last time, it got much worse.”

Princess is the star of New Jersey’s Popcorn Park Zoo and she has correctly picked the winner of five of the last six Super Bowls.

She went 14 and 6 predicting regular season and playoff games this year, and has a lifetime record of 88-51.

The Bactrian camel’s prognostication skills flow from her love of graham crackers. Zoo general manager John Bergmann places a cracker and writes the name of the competing teams on each hand. Whichever hand Princess nibbles from is her pick.

On Wednesday, she made her pick with no hesitation at all, predicting bad news for Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, even though the Las Vegas oddsmakers have New England favored by about 3 points.

Her only miscue in the big game was picking the Indianapolis Colts over the New Orleans Saints two years ago, indicating that even camels know it’s generally risky to go against Peyton Manning.

“It started out when a local radio station was looking to have some fun, so they asked Princess who was going to win a particular game each week, and it just took off from there,” Bergmann said. “Now we have guys calling up on Sunday morning wanting to know who Princess has picked that week. One guy even asked if she does lottery numbers.”

Her best season was 2008, when she got 17 out of 22 games right, including correctly picking the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the Super Bowl.

Princess doesn’t do point spreads. But she has nearly mastered the art of picking straight-up winners.

The cunning camel was once the personal pet of heiress Doris Duke, the only child of tobacco and electric energy tycoon James Buchanan Duke.

Doris Duke raised Princess and her sister Babe from youngsters, Bergmann said.

The pair of camels had their own barn, and spent summers at Duke’s Rhode Island estate. During bad weather, they were put up in the solarium.

After Duke’s death in 1993, the camels stayed on her estate in Hillsborough. Babe died several years ago, leaving just Princess.

When Princess’ caretaker was about to retire, the estate offered Princess to Popcorn Park Zoo, which took her in. The zoo cares for abandoned and abused animals.

A Wisconsin man charged with domestic abuse told cops that a “ghost” was actually responsible for injuries suffered by his wife, according to police.

The bizarre claim by Michael West, 41, did not prevent the Fond du Lac man’s arrest for strangulation, battery, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.

According to a January 18 criminal complaint, West and his spouse got into an argument Sunday that turned violent.

The victim told cops that West twice strangled her, and that he punched her in the face when she tried to dial 911.

When cops arrived at the couple’s home, the crying woman was bleeding from the nose and had blood on her Packers jersey.

During police questioning, West claimed his wife sustained her injuries to her face and neck during several falls.

When pressed by a cop–who pointed to marks on the woman’s neck–the intoxicated West shifted his story.

“A ghost did it,” he said.

In light of the apparition claim, officers sought to place West in custody.

After a struggle, he was handcuffed and transported to the county lockup, where he remains in custody in lieu of $1000 bail.

Paranormal investigators are studying a video said to show a ghostly-looking figure resembling Princess Diana in a stained glass window.

The video was shot in a Glasgow church by Chinese tourists who did not notice the Diana image until they played their holiday video back when they got home.

Paranormal writer Michael Cohen – who was sent the video – said it was one of the “clearest” paranormal images he had come across.

He said: “The footage is currently being examined by myself and other researchers to ascertain if it is a genuine ghost capture. It might be a bizarre optical illusion, but then again, it could be a ghost – possibly Princess Diana’s.

“Ghosts often appear in places connected to their lives and families. Ghosts might appear to warn individuals, groups and even entire nations of possible impending danger.”
