Warning: Hilarious Client Called for 'Ghost' in Their Vacant House - Almost Broke My Back Chasing Shadows

So I'm out doing a deep clean on this big empty house in the suburbs, you know, the kind where you gotta move all the furniture with a Hoover commercial vac to get behind everything. Client calls me up freaking out about 'ghosts' because she heard noises at night, turns out it was just a loose window rattling from the wind. I spent an extra hour sealing up those drafts with some blue painter's tape so she wouldn't call me back for nonsense. NGL, I was laughing my ass off when I realized, but man, these clients will blame anything on spirits instead of basic maintenance. PSA: always check the obvious stuff first, or you'll end up playing ghostbuster on the clock. Don't get me wrong, it was funny, but could've been a total waste if I didn't figure it out quick.

Haha, had a lady once swear her house was haunted by the previous owner's cat - turned out to be mice in the walls. Chased 'em out with some traps and she gave me a fat tip for 'exorcising' the place.
