Leanne Fennell, 20, told neighbours that a ghost had been playing loud music and throwing empty beer cans into the garden of her home in Hull, East Yorks, when they complained about the noise.

Fennel has now been evicted from her council house after Hull City Council took her to court after ignoring a noise abatement order.

Council officers also seized four televisions, four DVD players and a CD player, which will now be destroyed, from the property in Wexford Road.

Furious neighbours had to put up with night after night of loud parties at Fennell's home - which regularly ran on until the early hours of the morning.

One neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said: "She told us a poltergeist would keep switching the music on really loud when she was in bed."

Some of the neighbours had a terrible time.

"There was always bottles and bottles of wine and cider just chucked in the garden.

"She had at least four huge bonfires to burn some of the rubbish that was in there.

"Some people complained and then she was warned by the council, but she didn't listen.

"Eventually, it went too far and we'd had enough."

Another neighbour said: "She was playing loud music at all hours. We reported her loads of times.

"It is nice to have some peace and quiet around here now she has gone."

On her Facebook page, Fennell says: "First and most of all I'm a proud mam to a beautiful little girl. I'm not fussy ... but a girl should try look her best 24/7.

"I also sin but I'm not the devil, so with me what you see is what you get. I love to party with my mates, well, the ones who can keep up with me that is."

Hull Magistrates' Court heard that loud music was heard coming from Fennell's home on January 13, 16, 18 and 19, after the noise abatement notice had been served by council nuisance officers.

She also ignored warnings to clear rubbish from outside the property.

Fennell was found guilty in her absence of four breaches of the abatement notice banning loud music and raised voices and another requiring her to remove rubbish from the garden.

Hull magistrates ordered her to pay fines of £370 and costs of £500 to Hull City Council.

good for them, people like her are a blight on a neighbourhood.

I've heard it all but that takes the biscuit. did she really expect everyone to believe her ?

Poltergeist? Well it is kind of original and creative, sort of...

Ghosts have got rights as well.
