Must be nice to have enough money to afford a home in central London that is so big some of its rooms can be classified as “obscure.”

Lloyd Webber’s neighbours had long been terrified by about ghastly wailing and shrieking emanating from the property, but eventually found out they were hearing rehearsals for ‘Phantom of the Opera’.

I know domestic workers are often invisible to rich people, but this is the first time I’ve seen a cleaning lady confused for a poltergeist.

in this case it was a cleaning guy, but he did finally stop after asking the priest what was going on with the whole exorcism thing, and then begging for forgiveness. from the priest mind you.
i think they actually wound up going in to business together. for priests with bills to pay, a real poltergeist can be hard to scare up

This was an episode of Hilda. I think the trick is to get a copy of the ghosts favourite book. When it comes by to read the book, it notices the mess and cleans up to thank you for keeping the book around.

Well, if that didn’t work against the poltergeist…
