THIS Morning guest Bel Mooney has been targeted by nasty trolls after describing a ghostly visit from her dead dog
The writer/broadcaster was bombarded with mean messages from viewers after making an appearance on the show today.
Bel told hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford about a spooky experience in which her dog Bonnie spoke to her from beyond the grave.
However, the story did not go down well with many viewers, who took to Twitter to mock the author.
One troll wrote: "#ThisMorning she is literally barking mad," and another added: "This woman is nuts. She sounds as though she's reading from a story book #thismorning."
Another nasty viewers declared Bel is a "NUTTER" and another called her one "sandwich short of a picnic" and "bonkers".
Bel, who has written a book about her experiences, was close to tears as she talked about how much she missed Bonnie.
She even opened up about losing a child and her belief that the spirit inhabited her beloved pooch.
The writer even fielded tough questions from host Eamonn, who probed her to find out whether her experience with the ghost dog was real or whether she "just believed it was real".
However, some viewers stood by her and praised her for sharing her emotional story.
One supportive viewer tweeted: "I understand how PPL [sic] feel about pets. I believe there [sic] always with you..."
Another added: "I completely understand the woman on #thismorning. I felt the presence of my old dog Barney, long after he died. It's not that strange."
One even took aim the trolls who have been criticising Bel, writing: "There are some dodgy people on Twitter, she's not hurting anyone and yet words like crazy and mad are been used, nice."
