>HEADLINE: HOTEL SELLS SATANIST'S 'EVIL BED'
>
>BODY:
>A HAUNTED bed once owned by satanist Aleister Crowley is up for sale.
>
>Hotelier Andy Pavitt says he is still getting spooky vibes from the bed, 
>despite a white witch's attempt to banish any evil spirits.
>
>Horrified guests claimed it moved about and scraped along the floor in the 
>night. Others suffered vivid nightmares.
>
>Now he has decided to sell it on auction website eBay - for a minimum of 
>pounds 666.
>
>Andy, who runs The Steadings Hotel near Inverness, said: 'I've had enough 
>of this damned bed.
>
>'I thought that, when I had it exorcised, that would be it but it seems to 
>have made no difference.
>
>'We can still feel Crowley's presence so I decided I had two choices left, 
>to sell it or burn it.
>
>'I thought I'd put a reserve of pounds 666 on it for a bit of a laugh.' But 
>ex -squaddie Andy hopes to make far more by selling the bed, which was once 
>owned by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.
>
>He said: 'This bed has a great history but it's just not history that I 
>want in my hotel.
>
>'It's scaring off the guests.' Andy, 40, added: 'Guests were continually 
>complaining and my family felt strange in the room.'
>
>The haunted bed was brought to The Steadings by the previous owners of the 
>hotel.
>
>They had taken furniture from nearby Boleskine House, where Crowley lived 
>for 14 years in the early part of the last century.
>
>The devil worshipper, who died in 1947, boasted of being 'the wickedest man 
>in the world'.
>
>White witch Kevin Carlyon said his exorcism had been like confronting 
>'Satan himself'.
>
>He said: 'Crowley has such a reputation that it was the ultimate battle 
>between good and evil.'
