Moving on in the article though, we quickly find that it's a thinly veiled advertisement for the TV series Help My House Is Haunted, which would have qualified for cashing in on Halloween, except for the fact that it's a spooky show, and therefore is a pretty legitimate thing to be talking about in spooky season.

Hosts of the show, Barry Guy and Jane Harris, give Ladbible some helpful hints on working out if your house is haunted, which include the unexplained. Really helpful, guys. Thanks. But also the old favourites like temperature changes, strange noises and feeling like you're being watched.

It seems Ladbible aren't the only ones producing articles about how to tell if your house is haunted, as I also found one much more in line with our cashing in on spooky season theme, and this one comes from the Guild of Property Professionals, and is titled How Do I Know If My House Is Haunted?

There is no named author for this one, so we don't know which of the trained and trustworthy independent estate agents came up with this article. But as we'll see in a moment, whoever published the article to their website, I don't think they did it alone. Anyway, the article begins, Halloween is known for its eerie tales, creepy ghouls and mysterious occurrences. Good start, good start.

And it goes on to cover strange noises and temperature changes, as well as reminding you that not everything is paranormal like the Ladbible one. But it also adds flickering lights, seeing if your animals behave strangely, and checking out the history of your house. Is a random estate agent blog actually giving better advice than the paranormal professionals?

They also suggest getting a medium in, having your own paranormal investigation, and of course, checking with your estate agent. Who are you going to call? Estate agents. I'm not sure that's got the same ring to it, does it? I don't know. I quite like it.

Anyway, I continued on my search and found another estate agent blog, which had also published an article on how to tell if your house was haunted. This time from Hamilton Stiller. They have an office in Park Lane. Very posh. And they too have decided to take advantage of Halloween to advertise their business. Their article begins, Hang on a second. I've heard that somewhere before.

Not only is it a similar article, it is the same article. They've even used the same stock pictures. Something tells me that both of these places might possibly hire someone else to write their blogs for them. None of these stories so far really piqued my interest, though. They were the side salad.

I needed my main course, so I kept looking. There was one that nearly made it, and that comes from the Manchester Evening News. This story was itself reporting on a Halloween tie-in from an unoccupied housing insurance company, the Alan Boswell Group, who carried out research to find out Britain's most haunted city. And what criteria did they use, you might ask?
