Believe it or Don't

A Northern Territory woman is convinced a horny ghost is haunting her home. Jennifer Mills-Young claims the ghost, named Kevin, once tried to drag her out of bed in the middle of the night. "I was asleep," she said. "I woke up when someone grabbed my wrist. I though, 'Hmmm, hubby wants a bit of romance', when I suddenly remembered he wasn't even at home." Mills-Young said she could feel the hand around her wrist trying to pull her up and out of bed.
"The moment I opened my eyes, the grip was gone and the room was empty. I yelled at Kevin that he was not welcome in my bedroom and that he couldn't come into bed with me. I told him to f*** off and to close the door behind him. A moment later I saw how the bedroom door slowly was closed. I jumped up and locked it - not that it makes much of a difference when you're dealing with a ghost."

Mills-Young, her husband Geoff and their two children, 19 and 20-years-old, are convinced the ghost is lurking in their home in Durack, Palmerston. She said the family felt "something wasn't right" as soon as they moved into the house two years ago. "My daughter suddenly felt uncomfortable - she said someone was in her room," Mills- Young said. "My daughter believed she had seen my son Aaron sneak out of the back door in the middle of the night. She said she saw this tall black shadow standing at the door - but at the time Aaron was hiding behind the computer desk."

Mills-Young said he had been haunted by the shadow of the ghost. "I saw someone walking past our back door inside our yard which I had locked," he said. "I jumped up and ran to the door to see what this guy was doing in our yard - and he just vanished." Mills-Young said she was the "worst skeptic" when it came to ghosts... A local, self-proclaimed ghost hunter, Jason King, has offered to investigate "Kevin" at no charge because of "the love of it." King says he usually "goes down there and gets some evidence of what is happening and then gets a medium to do the rest. The medium does the hard work in contacting and coaching [the ghost]."
