Simon Gregson is adamant that his home has been visited by a mysterious female figure, clad in white.
The popular ‘Coronation Street’ actor and his family – comprising Emma Gleave, 39, Alfie (15), Harry (13) and Henry (6) – appeared on Discovery+’s paranormal show ‘Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted’ to discuss how they had spotted a woman hovering around their staircase landing.
The 48-year-old soap star said: “My wife Emma, my eldest son, Alfie, and I have seen a woman who’s dressed in white and crosses the landing by the stairs.”
“One time, about 1.30am, I saw her go across. First I thought it was Emma coming in after a night out with her friends.
“When I rang to ask if it was her, she replied, ‘No, you’re going to tell me you’ve seen a woman crossing the landing, aren’t you? I’ve seen her, too!’

“Alfie has seen the most, though. He’s told us he’s seen a woman outside his room and what looked like the heads of children poking around the door.”
Simon divulged his experience to the supernatural specialists: Barri Ghai, a ghost hunter; Ian Lawman, a psychic medium; and Jayne Harris, a paranormal researcher.
He added: “We moved here in 2007, and, three years later, spooky things started happening. I would call myself a skeptical believer – I believe in it but I need concrete evidence to make me 100 percent.”
“I’ve always been interested in paranormal activity, though. I’ve always thought, ‘It can’t just be us here – there’s got to be something else, right?’”
He admitted he wants to “know exactly” what he and his family have on their hands.
Simon said: “I wanted to know exactly what we’ve got here, so, hopefully, we could put the whole thing to rest and get rid of the ghosts!
“What appealed to me was that the experts go into the whole history of the house and the local area.
“As soon as the team set up their equipment, they were picking up voices of the spirits.”
