The Schoolmaster is in the House
Spirits are haunting a photography studio in Watford, England and having first-hand encounters with the people who work there. Pictures flying off of walls, lights being turned on and off when no one is there, film cameras malfunctioning for no reason. Sounds like nonsense, but it's not.
