The scorching heatwave is being blamed for causing a massive increase in paranormal activities in people's homes around the South West region. This is according to ghost hunter expert Gary Parsons of the Plymouth Paranormal Investigators (PPI), who says they have received a "major spike" in the number of calls during the past two months.
Some people have even been afraid to enter their own homes.
Mr Parsons said: "We have received a major spike in the number of calls during June and July, with people reporting scary supernatural phenomena, and one couple almost afraid to go into their own home because of poltergeists, and residual energies making things move."
The team of ghost hunters at Plymouth Paranormal Investigators have been in the ghostly business for years and use highly specialised technical equipment to find answers to the unexplained, and free homeowners from unwelcome spirits.
Technical paranormal expert, Robert Bryant, said: "With temperatures soaring its having an unexplained increase in paranormal activities. We use a number of items to communicate with energies and especially our Huff Wonder Box. It is designed to search out unexplained orb lights, eerie voices, and deadly spirits.
"On a recent house investigation, my body was taken over by a dead priest and refused to leave until it was ordered to leave by my colleague Amanda Oriana."
The PPI attend haunted locations across the UK, and take part in professional paranormal investigations.
The team have a Dartmoor Mini Bus tour coming up on the August 18, and investigating eerie sites in the early hours of the morning, and a mediumship evening with Sarah MacNeill, on Friday, August 17, at the George Inn, Plympton.

I had the day off work and was lazing around the house, in fact, at the point of this happening I was lying in bed, in the afternoon sort of drifting in and out of light sleep. My blinds weren't fully down, about half way, so sunlight still shone through.
I was dreaming/not dreaming... you know that state when you are awake but aren't... this was mid afternoon, I was just lying on my bed, no tv, no music, no gadgets... just lying down, turning from side to side in and out of full-in-the-moment consciousness but still alert (that for example I'd notice if lets say I heard a car speeding down the road outside).
So, that's the background, now onto the incident. At this point I was turned so that I was lying diagonally on the bed, my head sort of half way out. It was then I heard a pop.... a massive pop and then I felt like some psychic connection between me and something on the floor. Whatever it was I felt like I could pull it in my hand, so I lifted my hands and went to pull it... at this point it hadn't fully dawned on me what was about to transpire or that it would be very very real. I think I was in the in-between state of being fully alert and not.
Anyways, the world just beyond my head well and truly opened up. It was akin to having your head stuck out of a plane whilst it was flying - the noise was crazy. It was like something had jumped across and had it's head over my head and was ferociously trying to eat me. As soon as I heard/felt this, I was fully awake and I tried jumping up and it was like I could for a split second but it pulled me down with some crazy force and so my head couldn't lift from the bed. It was like sleep paralysis except I wasn't asleep, my eyes were open, everything in front looked the same but around me was this ferocious biting noises of something trying to basically eat me or something. I tried lifting my hand, right hand as I was lying on my left but the shoulders felt heavy so I couldn't, it was like some force holding me down... and the noises, the bloody noises!
Anyways, after a while I figured I couldn't do anything so I lay there having seemingly accepted the happenings. I remember thinking 'this is how it must feel like being eaten by a wild cat like a lion or tiger' because I was down, this creature I couldn't see, only hear over my head and neck and in seeming control of me - my fate in its hands.
So there I was... thinking, well, ain't this just real. What now? Then, it's like the window it came from shut and I lost whatever connection I had with it or it had with me and everything returned to normal. I now had full motor control of my body and yeah, as they say, that was that. Ordeal over.
It was crazy, don't know what it was... wonder if it's a mind trick, what sort it was.
