Request
1) If your council has a social housing stock, please tell me how many complaints you received from tenants in the calendar year 2023 relating to alleged paranormal activity at council house properties.
Note: I would request, if practicable, that a search of logged complaints be carried out using the following keywords: ghost, poltergeist, haunted/haunting, supernatural, and paranormal. The results would need to be manually reviewed to eliminate any false positives.
2) Finally, please supply me with a summary or (if available) the verbatim wording of the complaint for the TEN most recent cases identified. Please redact any details that could identify an individual.
