A popular social media ghost-hunting couple are locked in a bitter divorce battle over the spirits in their "haunted museum" after they announced their split.

Linzi Steer, 53, announced her pending divorce from husband Lee Steer, 37, on Facebook on September 3, after seven years of running Project Reveal: Ghosts of Britain. The duo own The Haunted Objects Museum in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, which is now the battle ground for their divorce, as the former couple clash over who owns the possesed items which include dolls, paintings and even a human skeleton.

The bickering has resulted in the closure of the popular museum, and the duo say they are ready to call in the lawyers to get the debacle sorted. Lee even admitted to sneaking back into the museum to "take back what was his" as payback for his ex-wife still having thousands of pounds worth of ghost-hunting equipment following the breakup.

However, Linzi claims Lee had the opportunity to pick his stuff up. Lee scooped up three "haunted" dolls, including Conjuring-inspired rag doll Annabelle that has been featured in the media as the former couple believe it may contain the spirit of the original.

Linzi claims that she realised the items had vanished when she was walking around the museum a week after the split and got a "gut feeling" to approach haunted bridal doll Elizabeth – only to find that she was missing. Linzi said that she was "devastated" and immediately had the museum's locks changed.

The soon-to-be divorcee claims that she doesn't know how herself and her ex will divide up the items and admits that they may even have to sell some of them. Linzi, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said: "The solicitors said to him that if he wants to go in, I will go with him. If I want to go in, he comes with me, so that we can protect each other's things."

She added: "It makes me emotional. There are things that just can't be replaced and that is going to be the worst for me. We have a real human skeleton and a mortuary table.

"Those sorts of things you can't have in a house, and I'm not going to sell them to someone if they have got something [spiritual] attached to them."

Ex-partner Lee, who has been ghost-hunting for 25 years, claims that he is equally uncertain about the future of the museum and says that he feels as though he is losing his "life's work."

He said: "A marriage breakup is causing so much unnecessary chaos that could be avoided easily. Hopefully, things will work out in the future in terms of who has what. They're priceless items to me, because I've been doing it all my life."

The former couple are now both continuing to ghost hunt independently, with Lee continuing to run the original Project Reveal: Ghosts of Britain page.

Meanwhile, Linzi has started a separate 'Ghosts of Britain – GOB' page where she shares her own paranormal investigations online.
