The spooky moment a 'ghost' haunts the former courthouse where prisoners were hanged

This is the spooky moment a ghostly white apparition was caught on camera as it eerily floated through the air. What appears to be a glowing white orb can clearly be seen emerging from a fireplace in a hair salon that was once a courthouse - and where criminals used to be hanged in the cellar.

The property's current owner, hairdresser Harry Browns, 35, said his customers have been plagued by spooky apparitions for years. But he said this was the first time one had ever been filmed in the salon in Market Harborough, Leicestershire.

'We've been aware of an eerie presence in the salon for years but to actually see it on film is very odd,' Mr Browns said. Some of the girls working here have been quite freaked out by what they've seen. Scissors and hairbrushes have gone missing and order sheets have printed out on their own. On one occasion a customer saw two people standing by the fireplace wearing old clothing. He freaked out when we said no one was there so I decided to get some professionals to investigate.'

The spectre was caught on film after spook hunters Ghost UK set up cameras in the salon - a former courthouse dating back to 1820 - earlier this year. (Source: Daily Mail)
