A TikTok junkie has caused fury after he live broadcasted his attempt to communicate with ghosts and spirits at Nicola Bulleys grave.
The lengthy video was streamed online shortly before midnight on March 2 from a churchyard in Lancashire where the individual used his Necrometer to detect paranormal activity.
Ms Bulley disappeared on January 27 2023 aged 45 while walking her dog by the river in St Michaels on Wyre and was eventually found dead in a river - her cause of death being later confirmed as accidental drowning.
The verdict came following a slew of speculation that erupted on social media, with some members of the public actively travelling to the area to conduct their own research in what police described as playing private detectives.
The coroners conclusion into the cause of death has not stopped the obsession and the strange trend of tragedy tourists visiting Ms Bulleys grave for online views.
Videos uploaded online are being branded upsetting and disrespectful.

The individual conducting the livestream responds with questions like familiar place... can you tell me what you mean by familiar place? and who is Terry?.
It comes after a separate account had advertised paid subscriber only content on their channel, with their thumbnail being an image of the mother-of-twos gravestone.
Lancashire police have said they are aware of the filming but that no offences have been committed.
We were made aware of a couple of incidents over the weekend of a TikToker live streaming from St Michael’s. No offences have been committed but we have spoken to community leaders as reassurance, the force said.
Cat Smith, the MP for Lancaster and Wyre, said: I’m sickened and appalled by the idea that anybody would think it would be appropriate behaviour to livestream on TikTok from the grave of a woman who died in the most tragic of circumstances.
Ms Bulleys family asked for the privacy of her partner and young children following the tragedy.
In a rare interview, partner, Paul Ansell, described the online obsession with her disappearance as a monster that got out of control.

Ms Bulleys body was recovered from a patch of undergrowth and branches by a river bend around one mile from the bench where her phone - which was still connected to a Teams work call - and dog were initially found.
The mother-of-two had earlier dropped off her daughters, aged six and nine at the time, at school in the village, and had said goodbye to her partner, Paul Ansell, as usual before the school run.
Five months later, James Adeley, a senior coroner for Lancashire, recorded Ms Bulleys death as accidental, after a two-day hearing into one of the most high-profile missing person cases in living memory.
It was determined by Dr Adeley that the mother-of-two drowned after falling into the freezing cold water of the River Wyre.
Experts told the hearing entering cold water can cause a person to gasp and inhale water, which can lead to the individual drowning within seconds.
As her partner Paul, 44, and parents Dot and Ernie wiped away tears, a pathologist reported that there was no evidence to suggest Ms Bulley intended to take her own life, as well as no sign of foul play or an attack by a third party.
