Paranormal tours co-ordinator Katt Robinson would prefer you didn’t call Ghostbusters because the shadowy figures are helping to renovate Clarendon House.

The National Trust-listed estate has begun to show signs of its age over recent years, with roofing problems leading to leaks within the building.

Ms Robinson said the chance to contribute to the building’s upkeep combined with a number of unusual experiences at the estate had led her to start up the tours.

‘‘I’m providing electromagnetic field detectors so the theory is that when a ghost comes near the lights spark up,’’ she said.

Ms Robinson said the building had been tested to make sure there would be minimal interference from electricity sources.

‘‘I was doing a sweep through the house with the EMF detectors to make sure, because it does react to powerpoints. 

‘‘You’ve got to hold it right over a powerpoint for it to actually spike.’’

Ms Robinson is also planning to host theatrical tours at Clarendon House in the near future.

‘‘It’s a case of really trying to raise the profile of the property, it is actually one of the largest estates in Australia because all the outbuildings are still intact.’’
