A woman at the centre of a ghost probe has told how worldwide attention over her haunted Rutherglen home has put her family under stress.

Catherine Shreenan, 51, called Police Scotland on Saturday to investigate a 'disturbance' where officers witnessed items fly across the room and a chihuahua dog appear on top of a seven foot hedge. 

Ms Shreenan, who had been living at the property with her son, has now fled to her parents home just miles down the road in South Lanarkshire. 

Officers called in the Catholic Church to bless the house but remain perplexed over the events which cannot be explained. 

A Police source said officers are looking into the history of the property to see if there is any explaination for the strange events.
