LOTTO LAD IS RUN OUT BY GHOST
Feb 3 2004
By Aidan Mcgurran
LOTTO winner Michael Carroll has fled his luxury home in terror and is vowing to sell up because he is convinced it is haunted.
Carroll, due in court today on drug and handling charges, was spooked when he and two pals heard a Banshee-type wail from the swimming pool of the £400,000 five-bedroomed house.
A friend said: "Suddenly all the doors starting slamming. They sensed something bad was going to happen and ran out to Michael's car.
"They thought the ghost had followed them and they started stabbing the back seat with knives. They totally lost it."
Carroll, 20, who scooped £9.7million on the lottery, thinks builders working on the pool may have disturbed the spirit of a woman murdered by her husband in an old cottage on the site.
Neighbours in Swaf-fham, Norfolk, fed up with Carroll's uncouth behaviour, are delighted to see him go.
Mrs Jean Poulter, 65, said: "We're very grateful to the ghost."

Why do I get the feeling that the neighbours might have had a hand in this?
