Homes Under the Hammer's Martin Roberts opens up on ghost scare at haunted house

Homes Under the Hammer star Martin Roberts has told fans about two scary ghost encounters he has experienced while filming for the show.

The TV star, 57, has fronted the series for 18 years, and he opened up about the chilling experiences during a Q&A with Twitter fans.

During his #AskMartinMonday, the property expert revealed that the ghosts made it clear that he and the crew were not welcome.

One person tweeted him: "Have you ever been to a haunted house on HUTH? Or felt like a house was haunted."

He replied: "Yes, I think on two occasions in 18 years.

"In one, the previous owner who had passed away and was obsessed by security, there were loads of CCTV cameras all over the place. Clearly wasn't at all happy we were there."

Martin has previously talked about the spooky encounter with Mo Gilligan.

"The house was spooky, it had ivy coming in through the windows and obviously hadn't been lived in for a while," he explained back in March.

"It had all these security cameras everywhere and it turns out the guy who lived there was a bit of a Howard Hughes type of character and obviously he didn't like the idea of us being there in his house."

It appears the star made reference to American businessman and investor Howard Hughes, who had a very reclusive lifestyle.

Martin continued: "He had died in the house and half way through the interview with the new owners - I'm not joking - there was a pendant light on the ceiling and the bulb dropped off.

"But instead of falling directly underneath it, it landed three feet away."

Mo looked shocked as Martin laughed and said: "It fell sideways! We finished that interview very quickly!"

He's had some shocking incidents during his career, to say the least!
