Family flipping its lid over potty potergeist:

"Our toilet is haunted - BY A PLUMBER'S GHOST!"

The Sterns of New York City claim their toilet is haunted by the ghost of a dead plumber. The plumber was crushed to death in a freak accident at their house. They say his spirit causes their john to smoke, gush water and burst into flames all by itself. They also claim to have seen his face in the bowl.

Afraid to use their own toilet, the Sterns decided to call Terry Shawn, a professional ghostbuster who confirmed the authenticity of the ghost. Shawn says that although getting rid of the ghost could take either weeks or months, the Sterns appear to be taking the situation in stride.
