SPOOKY footsteps are haunting a Gloucester shoe shop.

Sales assistants Heidi Kent and Jane Jones at Cotters Bar in Northgate Street have noticed ghostly goings on in the store.

They have even called in ghost hunter Lyn Cinderey to investigate.

Lyn spent a night in the shop to see if she could find the source of the spooky happenings

She said: " Heidi and Jane have been experiencing 'strange goings on' for some time now.

"When they go into work some mornings there are shoes and handbags all over the floor in the main shop and in the back staff room. They always tidy up every night before they close up."

The shop workers have also seen the shadow of a man standing by their stockroom door.

Lyn said the ghost hunt had been exciting.

"There were nine of us including myself, Jane and Heidi and we had a very interesting night indeed," she said. "Slippers suddenly appeared on the floor of the staff room at 3am yet they had not been moved all night.

"We heard a creaking noise coming from above us in an upper floor as if someone was walking around up there, yet we knew no one was up there.

"I saw several sparkly lights around the stockroom at the back, and a shadow."

And their ghost hunt proved successful as they managed to get a message from the other side.

"We asked twice if anyone was there and we had a response of a clicking noise in the corner of the room," Lyn added.

Since the vigil all paranormal activity seems to have died down.

But Jane added: "There was definitely something going on and it needed researching."
