A woman who divorced her ghost lover claims the spectre is now stalking her after their break up.
Singer songwriter Brocarde, from Oxfordshire, fell in love with Edwardo - the ghost of a Victorian soldier - in late 2021 when he appeared in her home. A year after she said they got married she called quits on the relationship and accused the spirit of cheating on her.
She called in an exorcist and was convinced Edwardo was gone for good so treated herself to a trip to France where she says she met another ghost named Fabienne near the Eiffel Tower. When it followed her home she became suspicious and her worst fears were later confirmed - it was Edwardo in disguise.
Brocarde said: “I thought that I'd started a new ghost free chapter of my life, it wasn't until I started to think about moving on that disturbing and creepy things started to happen. I embarked on a post-divorce trip to Paris to find myself and I ended up finding 'Fabienne', or so he called himself.
"I was walking down the banks of the river Seine chasing the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, cowing under my umbrella as raindrops poured off it, and then it struck me, glistening in a puddle - the reflection of a French man. I tilted my umbrella back but nobody was around, I looked back towards the puddle the man was clear as the ocean."

"A holiday romance with a Parisienne ghost [was] surely too good to be true. He later revealed himself as Edwardo - it was a honey trap all along. I couldn't believe I'd been catfished by a ghost."
She says Edwardo has become jealous as she now only wants to date men who still have a pulse. She added: "I cautiously started to go on dates with living humans.
"I returned home from a date with a bunch of flowers, and Edwardo thought it would be amusing to pull the heads off all of the roses and scatter the petals on my bed. He's even learnt to play Careless Whisper on the saxophone - I mean, at least I think it's him, the sound echoes in the distance sometimes when I'm taking a bath in candlelight.
"He's getting really jealous of the fact that I want to date a modern man. He knows I no longer find his uniform attractive so he's going to extreme lengths to pull me in, he's even given himself a modern make-over and presented himself as a Ken doll.
"I thought I was going crazy when the image of him with cropped blond hair and a pink suit appeared, I could tell it was him though as his gaunt harrowed eyes locked into mine and slowly he merged back into a rugged Victorian soldier. A medium told me Edwardo would always be with me and that's a thought that I can't come to terms with.
"I feel now I'm not consenting of Edwardo's presence and I'm having trouble getting him to disconnect from me. Moving forward I feel like I need a bit of flesh on my bones. Skeletons and dead men may seem hot but in reality they are stone cold, unpredictable and scary."
