Buying an expensive new home and moving in is tricky at the best of times, even with all the planning in the world – and what about selling it? Shifting on a £3.6m mansion is not a simple task, even to those who have got the money.

So imagine the predicament faced by Anwar Rashid, a businessman who was chuffed when he and his family first took up residence in Clifton Hall, a 17-bedroom spread in Nottinghamshire, UK.

Screams in passageways

He not only faced trying to sell the home during a crunch on the mortgage lending market, but attempted to offload it following a full-scale haunting which drove him, his wife and four kids, and a collection of other relatives, out of the house. The Rashids say they fled from the grand residence after hearing screams late at night in the hall’s passageways, and the final straw came when phantom blood spots were spotted on the clothes of a baby in the family.

Desperate measures

“I never believed in stuff like this before, but I do now.” said Mr Rashid. He’s even revealed he simply stopped mortgage repayments on the home after he failed to sell it so the bank would be forced to repossess.

This brings a whole new dimension to the foreclosed homes issue in America. In fact Kate from the US has even left a telling comment on the story at the Nottingham Evening Post website. “Give you a $100.00 for it.” She says.
