This is the chilling moment a screaming woman ''possessed’' by the previous home owner is pinned down while witch doctors perform an EXORCISM.

The mother-of-two started acting bizarrely and friends called in local ghost hunters last month at her one-storey house in Phetchburi, Thailand.

Seven men pinned her down while one uses a SLEDGEHAMMER to smash a ‘'spirit house’’ - small structures kept in every Thai’s front yard for the ghosts of previous residents to live in.

Superstitious Buddhist believe the ornaments appease the spirits who don’t feel put out by the new residents.

But on this occasion, ghost doctors believe the spirits turned on the woman because they wanted their house back.

They possessed her soul and tried to drive her to insanity while scaring her by making bumps and noises at the property, according to ghost doctors.

As men hold her down the woman screams: ‘’What did I do wrong to you? Why did you have to do this to me?

‘’I have lived here for a long time. Why did you come like this to me? Where else can I live? Where?''

Spiritual healers arrived and performed several rituals involving string, flowers and reciting prayers ordering the evil spirits to leave - after which the woman calmed down.
