A psychic has been accused of hiding a man in an attic to knock on the ceiling during a ghost hunt through a 'haunted hotel'.
Medium Chris Date is said to have driven off after the man was caught coming down from the roof space.
Paul Francis, owner of the Halfway Hotel, said 14 guests were on the £12-a-head tour.
They were led into the hotel's stables where Mr Date asked a spirit to knock twice in answer to a question before two ghostly knocks were heard.
Mr Francis, 33, said: 'A member of staff and a member of the public wanted to see if someone came down from the attic where the knocking was coming from. Twenty minutes went by and then this guy jumped down.
'Our staff grabbed the guy and threw him out.'
Guest Mike Grimble, 43, said the man claimed he was homeless and had nothing to do with the spooky sounds – but was wearing 'designer jeans'.
He claimed Mr Date drove away from the hotel in Llanelli, South Wales, soon afterwards.
But the medium, who calls himself the Knight Guider, denies the man in the attic had anything to do with him.
'The knocking did not sound like what I am used to,' he explained.
'I said on several occasions that it was odd, the noise was too extreme.
'I have got a very good track record. It's disgusting, I would never do that.
'I take what I am doing very seriously. It was a ghost hunt.
'No mediumship was promised – it's a fun ghost tour around the hotel.'
