Ghost hunters slammed for 'investigation' into disappearance of Nicola Bulley
A paranormal investigations team has been branded 'depraved' after conducting an 'investigation' into the disappearance of Nicola Bulley, asking so-called 'haunted' dolls if she is 'still alive'.
Ghosthunting trio The Real 4S Paranormal livestreamed a séance across their social media channels on Monday, which showed a picture of the missing mum-of-two alongside dozens of creepy dolls.
In the 'horrifying' clip, a member of the team asks the so-called haunted toys 'who took this lady, spirit?', while asking them to show whether she was 'still alive' by lighting up a spirit box.
Later in the video, one of the women declares she 'thinks it was arranged' and asks 'is she in the woods?'.
The post also shows a birds-eye view of an abandoned house near the scene - before asking whether the police 'need to go back' there.

The Real 4S Paranormal attempted to defend its seance online, claiming it wasn't 'trying to jump on the bandwagon as some might say', and they only did the investigation to see if the 'spirits had answers'.
But the 'insensitive' footage has now been slammed by married ghosthunters Lee Steer, 36, and his wife Linzi Steer, 53 - who claimed they were 'disgusted' when they saw the other team's actions.
Linzi, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said: "This poor lady hasn't even been missing a fortnight yet.
"We don't know if she's dead or alive. It's absolutely terrible. I'm sick to my stomach that they would do that.
There has been no trace of Nicola since she vanished while walking her dog on Friday, January 27 (Nikki Bulley - Mortgage Adviser/Facebook)"I saw it and said to [my husband] Lee 'what the hell?' This woman who says she's a medium is sitting in a room full of doll and basically saying the dolls have information of where Nicola is.
"I was disgusted. If she's a medium, why the hell has she posted it all over Facebook and TikTok? This poor lady's family - her children - could grow up on social media.
"I thought this is so wrong. It's disgusting.
"There's no way we would ever do anything like that.
"No doubt mediums have gone down to the place but to post this on Facebook for views - do it in private.

"It's obvious what they're doing it for, just to get views. They're not helping with the enquiry at all - they're not helping anyone."

One follower said: "Some will do horrific things to get viewers."
Another user said: "Yes I saw this - absolutely disgusting. They had turned comments off so couldn't put what I wanted to."
A concerned viewer said: "This is so disgusting and disrespectful her poor family and friends. I hope and prey she is found safe."
While another paranormal fan added: "This is very sick."
There has been no trace of Nicola since she vanished while walking her dog on Friday, January 27.
Her phone was found on a bench by the waterside and had recently connected to a work call. Her dog Willow was running loose.
Police launched an extensive search of the area and said their "main working hypothesis" was that she fell in a river but a body has not been found.
The Mirror has contacted Real 4S Paranormal for comment.
