A COUPLE have bought a house reputed to be one of the most haunted properties in the country.

Cheshire man Andrew Taylor, aged 40, and his partner Caron Reeves, aged 38, plan to renovate Windhouse on the aptly-named Shetland island of Yell.

The ghost of a woman dressed in silk is said to roam the remains of the house, built in 1707 on an ancient burial site.

"Caron believes in all that kind of stuff, but I'm not really bothered by ghosts," Andrew said.
