What's the big deal? I thought burning down your house was the only way to get rid of a ghost in the bathtub.

A Tub Ghost (Poltersoaper) can be very annoying. It is recommended that you fill the tub with water and drown them.

Would sure like to know this woman's name - I am sure many landlords in her home town would too!

I had a tenant set fire to her apartment last Sunday. I wonder if she had a tub ghost too.

I put Tiddy Bowl in the tank. Now he's a blue ghost. But he has a fresh lemon scent.
