Ahmed said the family had undergone two very stressful events before they lived in The Aviaries – divorce and moving house – which could have affected their perception, although she did not deny the truth of their experience.<\/p>\n
“It sounds genuinely terrifying and this is something that feels real to the family; it’s something that they’ve lived with and it certainly has transformed them.<\/p>\n
“I’m not sure I would see it as a haunting. I think there are lots of things that could be happening,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Even if you move house for a happy reason, it’s very, very stressful on the brain and body, and they are trying to make sense of that.<\/p>\n
“If somebody’s had something that’s quite negative on top of that, it touches on and almost triggers that negative energy and feelings that they’re trying to escape from.<\/p>\n
“It then becomes something that we call emotional contagion – this begins to transfer from one member of the family to another, without people even realising that this is what’s happening,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahmed said the family had undergone two very stressful events before they lived in The Aviaries – divorce…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":710636,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-710635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=710635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/710636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=710635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=710635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=710635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
