Andrew Lloyd Webber has said that he had a poltergeist in his home in Eaton Square.
The composer of The Phantom of the Opera told The Telegraph that the spirit would create piles of paper that he would find in unexpected places. He eventually called on the services of a priest to persuade it to leave the 19th-century property.
He said he had never seen a ghost, but said: “I did have a house in Eaton Square which had a poltergeist."
“It would do things like take theatre scripts and put them in a neat pile in some obscure room. In the end we had to get a priest to come and bless it, and it left.”
Lloyd Webber's famous musical The Phantom of the Opera follows a disfigured composer who "haunts" the Palais Garnier opera house.
