Ghost of my ex-boyfriend scares away new lovers

WHEN Sharon Grant and Sean Eddleston fell in love in their 20s, they vowed never to be apart.
But Sharon could never have imagined that pledge would hold true even after Sean’s death 13 years later — as she believes his GHOST now scares off her new lovers.

Sales assistant Sharon was 26, with two children from a previous relationship, when she met 24-year-old market trader Sean and became smitten.

Her world then came crashing down when he died of bronchial pneumonia, aged just 37.

After falling ill, he had told her that if he died he didn’t want her to date anyone else. But she had no idea how those words, and Sean himself, would come back to haunt her.

Five years since Sean’s death, Sharon, now 44, claims to have had three relationships dashed by her ex appearing from beyond the grave to give her fellas the frights of their lives.

Sharon says she started to notice Sean’s ghost around their house soon after he died, before she began dating.

She insists she enjoys having him around because he was the love of her life but it is the meddling in her love life that she cannot stand.

Sharon says: “Sean was everything I could ever wish for in a man. He acted like a dad to my children from a previous marriage and gave the family stability and happiness. His death was a huge shock to me.

“He’d always said to me, ‘Sharon, we’ll be together for life, no one will ever come between us’, and I took comfort from that. I promised him I wouldn’t date anyone else if he died.

“But when he had passed away, I wasn’t sure I could live up to the promise I’d made him. I felt I had my whole life ahead of me.”

When the spooky goings-on started, Sharon knew it was Sean’s ghost playing the tricks.

She says: “Strange things were happening. When Sean was alive, he moved the pictures in our home and made them crooked — it was a joke because he knew that it drove me mad.

“A few months after he died I suddenly noticed that all the pictures would sometimes be wonky.

“I knew it was Sean telling me he was still there and, rather than being freaked out, I drew comfort from the fact he was still around. Straightening the photos, I would shout, ‘Sean, will you cut it out!’

“Occasionally I heard footsteps on the stairs. I knew that it was Sean and I just left him to it. There was no need to be scared.”
