Spooked parents believe they've caught ghost on camera

A young couple claims their home is possibly haunted by a malicious ghost after their daughter appeared to have three deep “purple scratches” on her face.

They also believe they have captured the poltergeist on their baby monitor and are now ready to move out.

Heather Brough, 25, and her fiancé, Josh Higgins, 30, from Michigan, USA, set up the camera after they discovered the purple scratches on their one-year-old, Lily. They believe what they captured on the camera can only be described as a ghost.

Upon reviewing the footage, the couple believes they saw a male figure walk quickly past Lily’s crib, as she pops up and watches him move through the room, before the alleged spirit vanishes in midair.

According to Kennedy News, a paranormal investigator called in to look into their claims, confirmed their home was haunted.

The couple currently resides in Josh’s mother’s guest house in Highland, and according to the mother, Kris, before the couple moved in, an elderly lady lived there.

Tragically, she lay with a broken hip for “a very long time” before she was found dead at the bottom of the stairs. Then, her “schizophrenic brother” lived in the home until his death a few years later.

“This is a spirit — I don’t know what its intentions are, but at this point it’s becoming physically harmful. This has made us want to leave as soon as possible. As soon as possible we’re out of here,” the child’s mum Heather said.

She reports that leading up to this event the family has heard sounds of screaming, stomping, and laughing. Heather, herself, has been awoken by what sounds like a man shouting. Until they find their new home, the couple has decided to never leave their daughter alone in a room.
