A ghoul hunter was left spooked after saying she was PUSHED by the ghost of a child during a spooky event.
Yvonne Hydes said it then appeared in a mirror in front of her.
The 55-year-old was with fellow paranormal investigator David McCabe, 41, at the time.
The pair – the co-founders of The Scottish Ghost Company – were at medieval Provan Hall near Glasgow – at the time.

Yvonne, from Paisley, told Jam Press that she believes the ghost was that of a child, just one of many spirits lurking within the ancient walls of the Easterhouse manor.
She said: “There were at least 11 crew members and guests behind me watching my reflection in the mirror as David – the medium – was asking the spirits to come forward and show themselves in the mirror or stand in front of me.
“I closed my eyes and almost immediately as the session began I said out loud ‘I’m seeing very quick flashes’

“Crew member Stacey then asked if anyone was using a torch.
“The answer was ‘No.’
“I then started to feel like I was being pushed gently back and forward, and ended up having to steady myself by putting my hand on the floor.”

“Stacey said ‘Oh my God I think I’ve caught something’ and we ended the session.
“When I saw the footage the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.
“At first it did indeed look like a flash, but when slowed down you could see this was definitely a small figure darting past.
“Freeze frame then confirmed this.
“I honestly couldn’t believe it. I was stunned.
“It tied in with everything I was experiencing sitting on the floor – the flashes, the feeling of being pushed, et cetera.
“To say I was excited was an understatement!”
Yvonne added: “We have captured many things that are unexplainable but this is different.
“This is up there with the best paranormal capture of an apparition that I have ever seen.
“I think what makes it more credible to those who are skeptical is that it wasn’t just myself and David that witnessed it, the room was full of witnesses.
“Absolutely mind-blowing.”
David, who claims to have been seeing spirits since he was around six years old, said: “I was shocked as it’s extremely rare to capture any spectral figures on film let alone see one with the naked eye.
“It is exceptional because in the many years I have investigated the paranormal, neither myself nor the team have ever captured anything like it.”
“I think it is an apparition of a spirit child running past the camera.
“I think the child was excited to be communicating with us and was playful.
“I think this is 100% proof [of the existence of ghosts] as one of the apparitions is see-through as it moves past, and the other in the mirror is white when the light in the room.”
Yvonne added: “This is by far the most amazing real evidence I have ever seen, captured or witnessed.
“[To] add in that it was witnessed by so many people just makes it incredible in my opinion.
“Two separate groups in the same area, witnessing true paranormal episodes.
“You cannot get any better than that.
“I doubt we will ever be lucky enough to capture anything like this ever again, to be honest.
“I seem to attract kids’ spirits in a lot of places.
“I believe the flashes I was seeing was a child running back and forward.
“Provan Hall is obviously steeped in history and we have picked up on many spirits on our investigations there in the past. Last time we caught amazing recordings of a lady’s voice.
“So, each time we go we seem to pick up on someone new.
“But this was definitely a child in my opinion.
“I believe there are a few kids that love to interact.”
Obviously, the pair accept that there will be doubters to their experience, and not everyone is going to believe in ghosts as they do.
Yvonne said: “I totally understand those who don’t believe.
“Believe it or not, I’m actually quite the skeptic myself and always question if there are other explanations to what we experience.
“I love it when there is no explanation, but I do suggest that [people]
come along to an event and experience a ghost hunt for yourself.
“We cannot promise any activity but can promise that our amazing team will try their best to get spirit to interact and communicate.”
David added: “We do at times get people who don’t believe saying it’s rubbish or that ghosts aren’t real, et cetera.
“They have clearly never had a paranormal experience that challenges their thinking.”
