"Kym got very emotional during some of the filming," a source told the Daily Star Sunday.
"She said she saw a ghost and that really shook her up. It was quite intense."

According to the insider, Ryder became convinced she'd seen something go bump in the night during her visit to a spooky location on the Isle of Man.
It's not the first time the cast of Corrie have gone looking for ghosts.
Simon Gregson, who plays Ryder's on-screen lover Steve, was a guest on a special edition of Most Haunted, also hosted by Yvette Fielding.
Ironically, Fielding once auditioned for a role on the soap, vying to play Rita Sullivan's (Barbara Knox) daughter.
