‘Possessed’ soldier mannequin ‘has hands chopped off after ‘attacks on cadets’

reports one of the cadets, Moises Borja, said: "We had to make the decision to cut off its hands so it wouldn’t attack us anymore and we then put it in a glass case so it wouldn’t be able to move either."

Some cadets even claimed the mannequin has been taken over by the ghost of one of their former commanders.

Student Moises added: "Some cadets in the north wing claim they can hear sounds of people walking [down the corridors]."

Classmate Edilberto Parra said it was all because the school has been overrun by evil spirits.

He even reckons the photos talk to the military school students if they dare to walk alone.

He told local press: "If you walk alone down a corridor, next to all the photos of the presidents and war hero statues, they start to ask you "Why are you here?" and "Why are you walking like that?"

The claims are not said to have not been investigated but the director of the institution, not named in local reports, has said it was all just superstition.

Closer to home a video shot at Wakefield Cathedral in West Yorkshire allegedly shows the ghost of a medieval monk screaming “I’m here.”

A paranormal investigator claims that the “ghost” he caught on camera is a 12th-century monk called Father Daniel, who allegedly screamed as he drifted through the cathedral.

The footage shows a few suspicious sightings, which appear as dark shadows making their way past the camera.

Ghost-hunter Mark Vernon, 50, said: “I was investigating it for 40 minutes – I caught a ghost, a shadow man, walking past my camera in broad daylight.

“If you listen carefully when it appears, I do believe he says ‘I’m here’.”
