US family says ghosts are having sex in their living room
A family from northeast Ohio has claimed that she has evidence of some afterlife hanky-panky going on inside her Euclid home.
Dianne Carlisle swears that what she saw was true and she also has pictures of the dirty deed that were snapped by her granddaughter, Kimora, 4, while she was playing with Carlisle's cell phone in the living room.
"It look like, like ghosts having sex in my living room! They are having sex, you can see the lady's high heeled shoes!" Fox News quoted her as saying.
"I never seen anything like this, I mean, ghosts still have feelings? They're having sex?" she added.
Even in the past, Carlisle, has experienced visits from the beyond, once from a small girl and another when she was looking at a new hairstyle in the mirror. ANI
