‘Ghost With Grey Skin’ Haunts Family

5-year-old Dagan Gerrity has been complaining to his parents about a man with grey skin who visits his bedroom at night. This “grey man” sits on the edge of his bed, trying to talk with him and keeping Dagan awake into the night.

Little Dagan also thinks he sees the face of the “grey man” in a certain wall of the house during the day.

Dagan’s parents, Emma and Dave, had chalked the whole thing up to over-active imagination. Since then, frightening activity in the home have caused the parents to believe there’s something very real troubling their son.

“The first time it happened, Dagan’s mum Emma and I heard him crying on the baby monitor,” David explained to The Daily Mail. “I went up to him and he was just crying his eyes out.”

“At first I thought it was just his imagination, or he had had a bad dream,” David continued. “Of course you never expect this kind of thing to be true, I’ve never believed in this kind of thing before. But there’s no denying it now.”

“There have been times when we’ve been in the room with him and we see him looking up into the corner of the room and speaking.”

As the months passed, David and Emma started to notice heavy furniture being moved around in the middle of the night. Doors and strange loud rappings began to be heard throughout the home — sounds that they hadn’t heard when they first moved into the room.

“It’s a shame,” David said. “Because we’ve just done up the house, but it’s even creepy for me. I’m a bit scared to be downstairs in the dining room by myself.” 

“We have a double bed in the room which is balanced on its side, and there’s a blue plastic table on top of it. Dagan told me that in the night, the table was picked up and moved by itself. This table is much too high for him to reach himself. I’ve put him to bed when the table has been on top of the bed, then come back in the morning to find it moved.”

It’s escalated to the point that the neighbors have begun to hear these strange poltergeist-like noises emanating from next door. Guests to the house are spooked when they walk through it, and think they are seeing faces in a recently plastered wall.

“The wall was completely stripped back before it was plastered and there was nothing on it,” David said, “no pattern. But when the plaster was drying, we could see a face start to appear. Now there is a 6ft by 6ft face of a man on the wall. People come round to our house and see it straight away. You can’t miss it. It spooks everybody out.”

The family’s next-door neighbors, the Gerrity family, claims they’ve they also had a taste of the paranormal activity.

Mr. Gerrity said, “I’ve been in my house and heard banging coming from the top floor next door. I know they’ve been doing some refurbishment so I expected it was workmen, as I could hear sawing and chatter.”

“But then, my next door neighbour came round and said ‘Dave, please come round and look upstairs, I can hear noises and there’s no-one else in.’ I’ve gone to look for myself and she’s right! There’s no-one up there.”

David and Emma are considering moving, and hoping that the “grey man” doesn’t follow them.

“The whole thing has got us really spooked. My wife wants to move, she doesn’t want to stay in the house anymore.”

Speculating on what might have triggered their frightening problems, David said: “I think that all the work that’s been going on – both next door and in our house – has disturbed a spirit.”
