‘We Had To Get A Priest’: Andrew Lloyd Webber Recalls Poltergeist Haunting His Home

Published by skeptic

Andrew Lloyd Webber says he’s never seen a ghost — but briefly once lived with one. The renowned composer recently sat down with The Telegraph and, as co-creator of The Phantom of the Opera, was naturally asked if any of the theatres he owns are haunted. Webber denied as much, before making an intriguing claim about his home in London. “I did have a house in Eaton Square which had a poltergeist,” he told the outlet in an interview on Tuesday. “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.” This purportedly organised ghost starkly contrasts a traditional poltergeist, which remain unproven but are nonetheless known for their mischief, violence and noise. The term itself translates directly from German to “rapping” or “thudding” ghost. Webber’s home is notably situated in Belgravia, a central neighbourhood developed in the 19th century by Marquess of Westminster, Robert Grosvenor. From those noble …

Webber is probably best known for composing such musicals as The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (based on the patriarch Joseph), and Jesus Christ Superstar. Though Webber had never seen the apparition in his 19th-century home on Eaton Square, the composer stated that he had seen evidence of its activity. This included taking scripts and putting “them …

Andrew Lloyd Webber said he once called a priest to his London home to help remove a poltergeist. The acclaimed composer, whose hit West End musicals include The Phantom Of The Opera, claimed the spirit would place theatre scripts in an “obscure room”. The spooky activity came to an end after a priest had visited the 19th-century property he owned in Belgravia, he said. In an interview with The Telegraph, Lord Lloyd Webber was discussing whether any of his theatres were haunted. The 75-year-old said he had never seen a ghost – but had witnessed some unusual activity at his home. He 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.” A poltergeist is described as a spirit or supernatural force which is capable of moving objects, making noises or even biting and pinching.
