Terrified woman says she is being stalked by 'black witch'

A 'black witch' has forced a woman to flee her house in fear - only to find it was following her. April Brown said she has experienced eight months of chilling hauntings in her flat before deciding to pack up and move out.

The 43-year-old claims mysterious lights in mirrors dotted around her home in Walsall, West Midlands, became too much for her struggling health to handle. At one point, April called in a local Christian minister but the hauntings persisted so she decided to move to Edgbaston in Birmingham, reports The Star.

April said: "I left it, it was bad. I left Walsall about six or seven months ago but it was going on for about eight to nine months. They were coming through the mirror, every time I went to take a photograph, a spirit or whatever you want to call it was appearing in the mirror. Every time."

It was not just appearing in one mirror either, according to April, mysterious shapes would appear in a variety of reflective surfaces including spoons and her TV screen.

"I've got a photograph where a shadow is bending behind me with two eyes and another photo which looks to be of a 50ft bug coming through the mirror," she said.

April sought the expertise of paranormal investigators to scan over some of her photos and welcomed a minister from a local church into her home. She explained: "I went on photoshop to blow up the picture to see it better and you can actually see the woman's face and everything. I ended up stopping taking photos and I've had experts take a look at one of my mirror photos and they say it's a black witch."

According to online definitions, a black witch practices magic for the purposes of evil and specialises in the destruction of human life. Apparent encounters with the spirit could not have come at a worse time for April who suffered greatly from the disturbances.

"I tried to commit suicide," April revealed. "I was in hospital for a bit, my family had to look after me. My brother we're very close he helped me a lot and took photos of it with me. I was in a bad way.

April continued: "Other things going on in my life including my chronic illness which can kill me, obviously what I was seeing and going through effected my mental health but I'm stronger now and back to normal after the support and help I got so I'm OK now. The spirit just tipped me over the edge."

After surviving that nightmare in Walsall, April could not help but laugh when the ghost began appearing in her new home as well.

Fortunately, she is not only more relaxed about it, but has started to embrace the spirit world.

April added: "It has followed me but I'm stronger don't think they want to hurt me if I saw a spirit now I think I'll be ok. I just think they want people to wake up. I'm doing music now and am going to start tarot reading and learning more about spirits."
