A 45 year old man has claimed a sponge has tried to sexually assault his wife.

Michael W and residing in a town outside of Manchester, UK, states that the old cottage where he lives with his wife is possibly haunted.

“We have lived here for approximately 18 months now”, says the mechanic. “The cottage was pretty cheap and required some renovation when we first moved in. What I didn’t imagine was that my wife and I were to have company.”

Strange Sounds

Mr. W says eerie goings on started within a few days of moving in. Apparently they first heard strange sounds coming from the old coal shed. “I assumed here was some wildlife nesting in the coal shed”, the man says,”But after investigation all that was in there were a few remains of coal and some old sacks.”

The hauntingsoon moved into the cottage. “It was a few weeks later that we started having problems with the electrics. Fuses would blow and televisions and stereo players would switch on and off, sometimes in the early morning.”

Stacked Chairs

One odd moment that was beyond belief was one morning in January, 2009. “It was only a few days into the new year”, claims Michael, “When I went downstairs at approximately 3.30 in the morning. I entered the kitchen and found our dining chairs stacked on top of the table. It was disturbing and bizarre.”

His wife was not available to comment but according to Mr. W the woman was becoming nervous. “I thought about asking if my friends had a key I didn’t know about and were coming into the house to play pranks”, he says, “As my friends love to play practical jokes on each other.”

Still after this incident things went “quiet” for a good few months. “There was the odd incident such as light switches going on and off, the television continued to switch on and off. Though I did call in a friend who was an electrician and he claimed nothing was wrong with the wiring.”

The Bath Incident

Incidents took a turn for the worse when one night in September his wife was taking a bath. “Something bad happened to my wife”, he says. “She was bathing by candlelight when the door locked in the bathroom, the candles blew out and my wife started screaming.”

Michael was at this point becoming distressed as he heard his wife’s screams. “I ran upstairs and found the door to the bathroom locked. My wife never locks it”, he says, “After all we are married and have been for the past twenty years.”

Break the Door Down

Michael then took swift action after hearing his wife continue to splash and scream. “I broke the door down and entered. My wife was ashen and in a terrible state. Water was all over the floor.”

Mr. W claims after his wife had calmed down she mentioned that she was bathing and the sponge started to manifest itself into a phallus type symbol started to attack his wife. “It was something out of the entity”, he went on to say. “The bizarre thing is why whatever was in there with my wife would conceal itself into a sponge.”

Since the incident Mr. W and his wife have sold the property and have now renting not far from the cottage. “I am happy to say nothing has followed us and my wife and I are leading as normal a life as possible after this shocking and bizarre attack.”

Psychic Investigator Professor Paul Olter-Geist says such incidents have been known to happen and are not that uncommon. “What was strange was the use of the bathroom sponge. It must be some weird ritual this spirit had and an obsession with sponges in a sexual way.”
