Andrew Lloyd Webber has claimed he called in a priest to help deal with a mischievous poltergeist that was living in his central London home.
The composer, who is famed for his musicals such as Oliver and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, said he is a ‘believer’.
He told the Telegraph: “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.”

Reacting on GBNews this morning, host Eamonn Holmes agreed with the musician and said: “Every home I’ve ever had, I’ve had it blessed by a priest.
“You see, that’s why you get these exorcists in. I was looking at Isabel’s beams [on her house] the other day. I was sitting outside. Unbelievable.”
“You’re home, it should be condemned because because it stood there for 600 years.”
“You always ask yourself a question. Has someone died in your home before? Of course, and have they been laid out on the ground?”

Isabel said: “My house apparently did have big cellars which they’ve concreted in. There’s probably a few skeletons in the cellar.”
The panelist and broadcaster Andy Jones said: “I live in a former mental asylum in North London which had thousands of inpatients.
“One of the lead suspects for Jack the Ripper was and held in my building. That’s why I like living there.
“Every single bang or crash has a potential story behind it.”

Isabel added: “I used to live in Mortlake in southwest London, which is called Mortlake. Literally because it was the death lake during the plague.
“It was far enough out of the City of London to be a mass grave from the plague.”
Jones then added: “Spitlefields in East London is short of hospital fields where they buried a lot of bodies during the plague as well.
“There are no fields in either of these places.”
