This unassuming house on St Johns Road in St Helier has a rather unpleasant reputation. For years, it was said to be plagued by strange and unexplained smells that seemed to permeate every room. The odours were so potent that they drove occupants out, with no one able to stay for long. It's little wonder that the house gained a ghostly reputation, with many wondering what could be causing the mysterious scents.

During World War II, German forces took over the property, but even they couldn't tolerate the strange smells. Soldiers would move in, only to abandon the house within months. It wasn't until people moved back in during the 1950s that the haunting seemed to cease. The cause of the smells remains a mystery, but it's clear that the house had a significant impact on those who lived there. The fact that the haunting stopped as soon as people left suggests that the house may have been a hub of paranormal activity during the war years.
