Musical theater legend Andrew Lloyd Webber, creator of Phantom of the Opera, once called in a priest to rid his home of what he thought was a real phantom. The poltergeist, he claims, haunted Webber's 19th-century home in Belgravia, Central London.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Webber was asked if any of his theater properties have ghostly inhabitants. He denied ever spotting a spook but that he "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," he said. "In the end we had to get a priest to come and bless it, and it left."
