This is the chilling moment a screaming woman 'possessed' by the spirit previous home owner was pinned down while witch doctors performed an exorcism.
The mother-of-two was said to be acting bizarrely and friends called in local ghost hunters last month to her one-storey house in Phetchburi, Thailand.
Seven men pegged her down while one used a sledgehammer to smash a 'spirit house' - small structures traditionally kept in the front yard for the ghosts of previous residents to live in.
Superstitious Buddhist believe the ornaments appease the spirits who don't feel put out by the new residents.
But on this occasion, ghost doctors believe the spirits turned on the woman because they wanted their house back.
They possessed her soul and tried to drive her to insanity while scaring her by making bumps and noises at the property, according to ghost doctors.
As men held her down the woman screams: 'What did I do wrong to you? Why did you have to do this to me?
'I have lived here for a long time. Why did you come like this to me? Where else can I live? Where?'
Spiritual healers arrived and performed several rituals involving string, flowers and reciting prayers ordering the evil spirits to leave - after which the woman calmed down.
Ghost hunter Mor Plah, who helped to perform the exorcism in the the chilling footage, said: 'The woman was having serious problems with spirit activity from the ghosts of people who lived before at her home.
'They were making her crazy and were causing problems in the home. They wanted to drive her out.
'We smashed the spirit house and made them leave. We destroyed them and she is comfortable again now.'
