TV personality Peaches Geldof believes her house is haunted by a woman who committed suicide over 100 years ago after delivering a stillborn baby.
The 24-year-old star took a photo of herself in the bath with her 20-month-old son, Astala, and when she checked the image she was shocked to discover a set of discoloured fingers by her shoulder, reported Femalefirst online.
Peaches lives in the property in Kent, South East England, with her husband Thomas Cohen, Astala, and their other son, eight-month-old Phaedra.
"The house was built in the 1920s by a rich man and his pregnant wife. However, his wife had a stillborn baby and was so grief-stricken she went mad. She apparently drowned herself in the bath," Peaches said.
"The presence I feel isn't malignant or angry, rather maternal and friendly - the house has a lovely atmosphere. Maybe she's just making her presence known because she loves having babies around," she added.
Peaches has started to leave her door open when she sleeps at night in case the 'ghost comes back'.
