Family uses holy water to rid house of civil war ghost

A family were given holy water to sprinkle around their house after the ghostly shape of a'civil war maid' floating in their living room was caught on camera - with their terrified dog looking right at it. Tim Welty, 25, had visited his parents' home to fix their computer when his mother got in touch to say their camera installed to keep an eye on the dogs had captured something unusual while he'd been round. A picture that the camera had taken while he had been sat in the room alone showed the shape of a large lady hovering over the sofa and the cocker spaniel looking up at her, with her ears pulled back in fear. After sharing the image, some Catholic friends of the family were so'freaked out' by what they saw that they gave them holy water and urged them to sprinkle it around. The family home is thought to be based on the location of a bloody American Civil War battle, and Welty claims the woman looks like an old farm maid from the period.
