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.”

Many students in the Phu Yen Province of Vietnam have fainted after claiming that a toilet inside their dorm is haunted and they have seen ghosts.

Phan Van Tho, headmaster of the Son Hoa Ethnic Boarding High School in Son Hoa District confirmed that a large number of boarding students have fainted or screamed at nights from unknown causes during the past month. The time they acted strange was usually from about 8 pm to 11 pm every night, Tho said.

The first victim of the awful situation is K Pa Ho Luon, of Son Dinh Commune. One night in early November, after coming back to his dorm room from the toilet area, Luon fell down to the floor, talked nonsense, scratched against the floor and walls with his two hands, and then passed out.

After being hospitalised at the Son Hoa General Hospital, Luon recovered and told everyone that he had met a ghost in the restroom.

Many other students later suffered the same condition as Luon, and there was a case in which 12 students collapsed unconscious at the same time. Such a situation caused an atmosphere of fear among students and many dared not stay in the dormitory but hired houses or rooms outside the school.

Many students have been so haunted by ‘the ghosts’ that they dare not sleep alone or go to the restrooms after dark.

All of the fainted students were taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, Tho said. Tho could not explain what had really happened to his students but he rejected the rumour that the schools’ toilet area was haunted.

The school’s management has held meetings with parents and students to call on them to stay calm, pending an investigation by relevant agencies.

According to doctors at the hospital, some students might have passed out because of hypocalcaemia (low calcium levels in blood).

A 38-year-old salesman was found dead on the ground floor of a car park of a high-rise residential building in Georgetown, Malaysia.

Since moving into the apartment, Khoo Kim Bee had been suffering from insomnia, began behaving “oddly,” and soon began contemplating suicide.

“We were disturbed by an unfriendly spirit,” his wife Xue Lin told The Star Online while at the Penang Hospital mortuary.

“Last week, Khoo had allegedly wanted to hang himself and even threatened to stab me with a pair of scissors.”

Xue told The Star that her husband had an appointment to undergo an exorcism, under the advisement of a Siamese Buddhist Temple master monk who had inspected the apartment.

The night before the appointment, Xue claimed that her husband woke her up twice in the wee hours and whispered to her that he wanted to take his own life before he apologised to her.

In a groggy state, Xue said she “pacified” her husband “and told him to go back to sleep.”

The morning of his appointment, he was found dead by a neighbor.

Malina Ayub, 45, who stays in a unit opposite the couple’s home, said she heard a loud thud and went to investigate.

“I thought someone had thrown rubbish from the upper floors but I was shocked to see a man lying in a pool of blood at the car park,” she said.

Assistant Commissioner of the Georgetown PD, Gan Kong Meng, said initial investigations revealed that the deceased had no financial or personal woes.

“We have classified the case as sudden death. Foul play is ruled out,” he said.

Since 1976, John Baker has run the Bakers Junction Railroad Museum in Smithville, Indiana. The museum — which operates a haunted house in old railcars — has fallen on tough financial times, so Baker’s turned to an unusual source of fundraising capital. That is, his own severed thumb.

Here’s John’s story:

I was using a saw over my head but I only have one good leg & it has a bad knee & it gave out & I fell down & the saw jumped out & cut my finger off.

I am selling it to pay for a new metal roof for the two train stations at Bakers Junction Railroad Museum at Smithville Indiana & they need a new roof badly.

According to John, his money troubles stem from a conflict with the “Commie zoning board” of Bloomington, Indiana. If you enjoy dismembered appendages and haunted railcars, this is a stop for your next vacation.
