In an interview with The Telegraph, famous British composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber said that he had actually called in a Roman Catholic exorcist to remove a poltergeist from his home in London, England, the Christian Post (CP) reports.

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 in a neat pile in some obscure room.”

The activity ceased after Webber called in a priest to bless the home.

“Poltergeists, known as ‘noisy spirits,’ are often associated with troubling activities, such as hurling objects, biting and even starting fires,” writes Leah Klett in her article for CP.

In an 1971 interview with the New York Times, Webber referred to himself as an agnostic but described Jesus as “one of the great figures of history”.
