Pete Doherty leaves haunted house

Pete Doherty is leaving his house because it is haunted.

The British singer says he is disturbed by ghosts holding noisy parties in his rented stately home in Wiltshire, Southern England, and plans to leave soon.

Pete, 29, said: "My house is definitely haunted. All of a sudden you hear a mad party going on in the west wing.

"It used to be the servants quarters, which is creepy. When I hear it I just hide. It's uncomfortable but I think if I don't bother them, they won't bother me. Half the time I'm in my own world anyway."

However, Pete may soon be forced out of the nine-bedroom country house whether it is haunted or not.

Earlier this week, it was revealed the Earl of Cardigan, who owns the house, is evicting him after his squalid living conditions were exposed.

The earl said: "It's high time Mr. Doherty found somewhere else to live. Enough is enough. We have had quite a few problems with him."

The drive of the house - which Pete pays £3,250 a week to live in - is reportedly littered with empty tins, bottles and beer cans, graffiti is scrawled on the walls, the floor is covered with rubbish and white powder and the halls are filled with overflowing litter trays from Pete's 13 cats.
