A TERRIFIED mother says she has been driven out of her Carlisle home by a poltergeist.
Carol Tuttle, 34, is afraid to return to her house on Mount Pleasant Road in Currock after a series of ghostly happenings.
Shattered glass lies on the floors, window sills and furniture where she says the poltergeist threw glasses around the living room, and smashed a glass cabinet door.
All of the back windows in the house have also been broken. Miss Tuttle originally thought yobs were responsible but she now believes that was also the work of the poltergeist.

All of the back windows in the house have also been broken. Miss Tuttle originally thought yobs were responsible but she now believes that was also the work of the poltergeist.
Neighbours say they have also witnessed the spooky goings-on, which started a couple of months ago. Kevin Blythe, 37, who lives next door, was initially sceptical about the unwanted visitor but began to think differently after seeing its work for himself.
He went to the house one day last week to fetch Miss Tuttle’s cats as she decided she could not live there any longer, and narrowly missed being harmed by the poltergeist.
“The cat ran down the stairs and I followed it, and two glasses flew right in front of me and smashed against the wall,” he said.
Mr Blythe went through into the living room to see if anything was there, and got a shock when he looked towards the kitchen.
“There was a pepper pot flying in one direction and a wire basket flying in the other direction,” he said. “It was really powerful, you couldn’t have caught it.”
Another neighbour reports having a bottle of perfume thrown at her, and seeing a lightbulb from an upturned lamp shoot upwards at the ceiling, leaving a dent in the plaster.
Miss Tuttle has had the house blessed by a priest five times and has also been visited by a paranormal investigator from Manchester.
After researching the subject on the internet and speaking to experts, Miss Tuttle believes the disturbances will only stop if she leaves the three-bedroomed end terrace. She is in negotiations with Carlisle Housing Association (CHA) about the possibility of alternative accommodation being found.
“I won’t live there again,” she said. “I was told the only way to get rid of it was to move.
“I’m willing to take a two-bedroomed house if I have to.”
She and her nine-year-old daughter are staying with her mother for the moment.
CHA representatives visited the house on Thursday, had a meeting with Mrs Smith on Friday and were due to see her again today.
A spokeswoman for the association said: “We are still investigating and there are various things that are happening at the behest of the tenant.
“We are just reviewing the case at the moment. It’s not something that we write policy for so we should know better what is going to happen by early next week.”
