They looked at me, and they were all wonderfully calm. We shared ghostly experiences and talked about why the ghost would want to hang out in my room. Maybe the ghost was musing on why I was hanging out in his or her room at that same exact moment.
I went back upstairs, poked my head into the bathroom and introduced myself to the general direction of the sink. Then I gave a light lecture on water conservation, though I added reassuringly that I was actually quite amused by all the trick playing. Finally I respectfully requested that the ghost make her or himself comfortable at anytime in the room, except while I was sleeping.
The tap never turned on by itself after that! And the ghost was great company, we watched many a bad TV show together that week.

What a lovely series. I hope there will be more!!
I love this story very much. I like how you resolved the issue with the ghost, instead of calling in a team of 1980's punks to deal with it, you made friends and watched tv!
Probably the ghost lived during a time when water was plentiful. Or maybe the ghost just has very limited opportunity for communcation. Or just needed a place to wash up? Who knows? Juki knows.
Great story, a bit scary at times (as supernatural plumbing incidents can be), but very charming and educational. It helped me to realize that diplomacy and some TV time can peacefully resolve any conflict, which is a valuable lesson for a new Canadian.
that's great!!! you calmed the boogieman..
