Real-life ghostbusters discovered 'moans and groans' in cemetery they were investigating were from a midnight PORN movie shoot.

The group were stunned to stumble across a couple having sex among the tombstones surrounded by men filming with cameras and sound equipment.

The disused 19th century graveyard in Sculcoates, East Yorks, is meant to be haunted with ghouls , kids singing Ring-a-Ring o' Roses and ghostly monks — including one called Henry — wandering around.

Ironically when the duo realised they were being watched by strangers the woman reacted like she'd seen a ghost and bolted.

Paranormal expert Mike Covell, 37, of TV show Most Haunted, said: "The woman was in her 30s and when she saw us she pushed the bloke off, pulled up her knickers and ran.

“They were going at it like rabbits. She was a blonde in her 30s and still had her knickers around her ankles.

“We looked at her and she looked at us. Then she pushed the bloke off her, pulled up her knickers and bolted.

“The guy ran after her, desperately trying to protect his privates from the brambles. We didn’t know where to look.

“Good job all 12 people on the tour were adults because sometimes kids come along.

“One elderly man was so incensed he was ready to chase after them with his walking stick, but I persuaded him to calm down and eat his sandwiches.

“We once saw a monk walking through the cemetery — but nothing like this.

“It was such a beautiful day too.”

Sculcoates Neighbourhood Association chairwoman Lorna Walker branded the sex scene ‘very distasteful’.

But she added: “This is the first time I have heard of anything this. I guess there are always people in society who will push the boundaries.

“The cemetery has a rich history. Poet Philip Larkin used to ride his bike through it, so we all hope this is a one off.”
