Haunting a house is bad form, but stealing electricity from the rightful residents seems to be going way too far. The London "Independent," December 6, 1994 (via Newspapers.com):
Heol Fanog House in St David's Without, near Brecon in Wales, has plagued its occupants since they moved in five years ago. Self-employed artist Bill Rich, his wife Liz and three young children, have endured smells of sulphur and church incense, shadowy figures and ghostly footsteps. Their first quarterly electricity bill was £750; electricity is somehow consumed even when the family is away and all the appliances are off. They reckon they had been charged about £3,000 for electricity they hadn't themselves used. The house made the children edgy and the parents listless.
The Riches called in the medium Eddie Burks, who said he found the highest concentration of evil he had ever come across, which was feeding off electricity for its own power. It was also taking it from the family. The electricity board tested the meter twice and found it to be working correctly with no abnormal fluctuation.
Apparently, the Rich family was troubled by various sinister manifestations until they finally fled the house in 1995. Subsequent residents did not report anything unusual, which just shows that you can never tell with poltergeists.
