A SPOOKED mum who claims her council flat is haunted has enlisted the help of her MP and doctor to win a battle to be re-homed.

Tacy Bruce came to The Press in February claiming her home in Long Close Lane, York, is inhabited by ghosts.

She said the supernatural beings have taken the form of a small child, a man and an animal, and has videos of ‘orbs’ or beams of light moving quickly across the room.

She was living with her parents after claiming the super natural beings upset her one-year-old son.

The 21-year-old beauty therapist has since moved back into the flat after City of York Council said they would take the keys from her if she refused to live there.

She has spoken to her GP about the impact it has had on her son’s health and her own anxiety, and contacted Rachael Maskell, the MP for York Central, but feels like she is fighting a losing battle.

“The council hasn’t offered me a solution or anything to help me deal with this,” she said.

“I showed the doctor everything that had been happening, but he could only write to the council and outline what I said.

“I feel stuck because I don’t want to live here anymore.

“I’m not making this up. I know it’s real and that’s why I’m fighting it so much.

“I think it’s impossible to leave here.”

A number of unexplained events are said to have happened in the home, including the contents of a Calpol bottle being poured across her cooker and her coffee, tea and sugar jars being rearranged.

Miss Bruce also claims to have switched off her son’s toy car only for it to still make a noise.

The one-bedroom flat has been blessed three times and Michelle Lee, a medium from Dewsbury, has visited the flat three times and believes the spirits enter her home through six portals.

The medium was able to close three of them and told the mum to burn sage to deter the spirits.

She added: “I feel like the medium is helping, but still think there’s something here.

“I took a video last week of a wall flashing and that doesn’t happen by itself.”

Denis Southall, head of housing at City of York Council, said: “In line with our usual assessment processes, we considered the evidence provided, visited the property and interviewed the tenant. We have found that this case doesn’t meet the criteria to move the tenant as the home meets her needs. This decision was upheld in a recent review. Again, we advised the tenant on her options for finding alternative accommodation and how to make a complaint about our decision which we are investigating.”
