Jo Whiley spooked by Glastonbury ghost

Jo Whiley spooked by Glastonbury ghost

Jo Whiley was left spooked during a stay at a creepy hotel close to Glastonbury Festival which has a "history of the supernatural".

The 61-year-old broadcaster recalled the incident during a chat with fellow radio star Zoe Ball on an episode of their Dig It podcast revealing the pair were both working at the festival one year and staying off-site when Jo suffered her creepy encounter - explaining she didn't see anything spooky but she got "bad vibes" from one room there.

She explained: "We went to do Glastonbury, and there was a really lovely old hotel, but there's one particular room, and I got in there and I was like: 'I can't spend a night in here'.

"And I don't really believe in these things, but I was just scared in the room. It felt bad, it felt really bad. And when I looked it up, there was a history of the supernatural in this hotel in this particular room.

Jo went on to reveal she is now conflicted about whether she believes in ghosts are real after taking her son Jude to see a homeopath who asked about his dreams and the youngster confessed he had seen and spoken to "strangers" in the family home.

Jo said: "He started talking about all these people that he saw in the house when nobody else was around. And he just, he went into such vivid descriptions of strangers in the house and how he'd have conversations with them.

"He could see them all the time, but nobody else could see them. And I was sitting there in the homeopath just looking at him going: 'What the hell?' ... "

Joe went on to admit the way her son spoke about it almost convinced her he could have been seeing ghosts.

She added: "He was talking about it with such conviction at the time that I was so freaked by it, I really was. I went back to the house and I just kept looking over my shoulder every time I went into a room, like: 'Is this the room? Are you the people you hear now?'"
