Famed composer Andrew Lloyd Webber recently recalled an eerie experience wherein he was forced to enlist a priest to banish a poltergeist that was causing commotion in his home. The British impresario shared the remarkable tale in an interview with the newspaper The Telegraph. During the conversation, the subject turned to the six theaters that he owns in London and if they might be haunted. While Webber indicated that, alas, he has never encountered a ghost in any of the buildings, the composer recounted a rather remarkable haunting that occurred in one of his homes.
"I did have a house in Eaton Square which had a poltergeist," he surprisingly revealed. According to Webber, the ghost was particularly mischievous as "it would do things like take theater scripts and put them in a neat pile in some obscure room." Although the composer did not say how long he lived alongside the spirit, he seemed to suggest that the situation eventually became unsettling as "in the end we had to get a priest to come and bless it and it left."
