The Cage, a semi-detached house in Britain known for its paranormal activity, has finally found a buyer for £250,000. Previous owners have fled in terror after experiencing numerous haunting incidents, including objects moving on their own, chilling apparitions, and even suspected satanic activity captured on CCTV.
A semi-detached house dubbed Britain's most haunted has sold for £250,000 just months after a previous owner fled in terror. The owner claims an unknown presence threw her to the floor when she was heavily pregnant after she bought the house in 2020 from Vanessa Mitchell . Previous owner Vanessa had spent 12 years trying to sell the 16th Century house - known as The Cage - after a paranormal barrage. She was terrorised by a bottom-spanking ghoul and a dark apparition would give visitors a chill.
The final straw came when her CCTV picked up an eerie image of what she feared was the ghost of a satanic goat. Vanessa struggled to find a buyer and advertised it for sale with Home Domus 360 for £240,000 - £92,000 more than she paid for it. While filming a promo video, the crew picked up a strange 'symbol' on a door during a long exposure picture of the landing. Vanessa said: 'The house is absolutely haunted. There is no doubt in the world that this house is a very haunted house. It always has been.' The doors would open, the kettle would turn itself on, the implements by the fire would swing back and forward, the doors would open and shut, the latches on the doors would go up, the taps would turn on. All that general stuff. 'All of the sudden the room would go freezing cold and you could see the black thing there. That started off quite soon, within days really. I knew the first day. 'I've been the guardian of this special house since 2004. It's now time for me to let somebody else look after it.' The most recent owners used the two-bed property as a holiday let. The Cage remained as a prison for men, women and children up until 1908 before it became a private residence. Paranormal experts have visited from all over the world. She left the home with son Jesse in 2008 to move into rented accommodation and has since desperately been trying to flog it. The cottage itself comprises three reception rooms, a kitchen, a ground floor cloakroom, plus two bedrooms and a bathroom on the split level first floor. A plaque on the building describes the plight of Ursula Kemp, who was imprisoned in The Cage on suspicion of witchcraft before being hanged in Chelmsford in 1582. Estate agent Florent Lambert, director of Home Domus, said: “Vanessa did try to sell The Cage numerous times since 2008 and with a number of different estate agents.“Most agents advised her to sell at auction at ridiculous prices or were not at all interested as they predicted it could not be sold
