Jo and Zoe Brant surrounded by the carnage caused by their nocturnal poltergeist The terrifying antics of a poltergeist were driving a Hereford family out of their minds and their home, the Hereford Times reported in 1996. Jo and Zoe Brant were reported to have stood their ground when objects started flying around the rooms of their Newton Farm Flat. We were petrified, said Mrs Brant. Some pictures missed us by inches and unit doors in the kitchen were flying open. A family wedding photograph fell of the wall, smashing the glass, and the dog won t go into Zoe s bedroom at all now. He just runs straight back out.
