“Once, around 1:30 a.m., I saw him pass by. At first I thought it was Emma returning from a night out with friends.

“When I called to ask if it was her, she replied, ‘No, you’re going to tell me you saw a woman walk across the landing, right?’ I saw her too!

He explained that he wanted experts to find out who the ghosts were by looking at the history of the house and the neighborhood, and hopefully get rid of them.
