The great-granddaughter of a medium who used a rocking horse to help summon spirits during séances is selling the wooden rocking horse, saying her own daughter will not play with it.
She said she often hears banging noises upstairs while she's working.
This early 20th-century wooden toy is being sold by the great-granddaughter of renowned medium Dick Godden, who reportedly used it to help summon spirits. The gray dappled pony has been passed down through the generations — but the current owner's young daughter isn't eager to play with it, the mom said.
She also told SWNS,"I remember going from our home in Hampshire to visit my great-grandparents when I was about seven. It was a three-story house and the top bedrooms always felt quite eerie." She said,"I’ve never seen the rocking horse move rooms." It stays on the landing, she said, but"there would often be the sound of someone walking around upstairs."
"The vendor's [great] grandfather was a trance medium/ghost hunter in the 1940s, and the horse was used for séances."
