BRISTOL, England, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Christine Strange and her husband, Nigel, say a couch in their home in the British city of Bristol makes mysterious noises because they believe it's haunted.

Strange, 52, said the creaking noise from the leather couch began randomly one recent weekend and the couple has been unable to determine what has been causing the strange noise, The Daily Telegraph said Monday.

"One Sunday morning I sat down on it with a cup of tea and suddenly heard this odd squeaky noise," she said.

"I thought I must be going mad but Poppy, my Yorkshire terrier, heard it too."

Strange said her 54-year-old husband has also been mystified by the unusual noise that they have compared to a clock being wound up, the Telegraph reported.

"It could be an alien for all we know," Strange told the newspaper of the possible cause of the racket from the couch.

"The noise is getting louder and louder. I'm scared it's going to come bursting out one evening while we're watching TV."
