The ghostly goings on at “Britain’s most haunted house” are to be feature in a UK tv docu-drama.

The move comes as ‘The Cage’ in St Osyth looks set to go to auction, possibly this summer.

It was to go under the hammer on May 26, but renewed tv interest caused a delay.

And to help a sale, its price has also been reduced from £280,000 to £269,000.

The former medieval prison achieved national notoriety after current owner Vanessa Mitchell bought the two-bed home in Colchester Road for £148,000 in 2004 unaware of its history.

Home to one of England’s most famous witch hunts, in which eight women died, current owner Vanessa Mitchell says the spooks have been a constant source of trouble, some of it malicious.

Since she moved in, she says she has seen three ghosts, one pushed her over when she was pregnant, and another smacked her on the bottom.

Electric powered-toys have also switched themselves on and off for no reason, items would mysteriously fly across a room, and doors would also unexpectedly slam.

“It’s not safe to live in. It’s too haunted. You can’t put people in, it’s too bad. There’s always activity, paranormal things going on,” said the 43-year-old.

Vanessa moved out in 2008 to live elsewhere in the village, leaving paranormal investigators to make regular visits over the years, always finding “some results, some paranormal activity.”

Such activity has led to many tv appearances for the caravan saleswoman.

Vanessa has been filming in Japan and now Eleven Films, who made The Enfield Haunting trilogy for Sky TV, is making a docudrama about the St Osyth hauntings for Channel 4.

“We have just started filming it,” she said.

Now, Vanessa is writing a book, to be published next year, called “The Spirits of the Cage,” with another afterwards called “The Cage: A Modern Day Haunting”, based more on her personal experiences.

Though keen to move on and put the Cage behind her, she hopes to keep working as a writer.

“There’s going to be lots of interest over the next year,” Vanessa advised potential buyers.

“It’s going to be a business. It’s famous. There’s no point in buying if you don’t want the publicity,” she added.

Antony Buck, director of Rayleigh-based estate agents Lawrence Antony Homes, agreed.

When he and his partner went visit the property, she unexpectedly came over very cold.

“We believe the ideal purchaser for this property would be someone connected to the paranormal industry. When we visited the property to commence marketing we noticed some strange finding on our photos which can be seen on our website listing,” he added.
