i'm glad I happened to stop in this morning and see this post.
First off, the fact that you are still able to post proves that you have not pissed off some republican ghost. If you had really pissed off a republican ghost he would have messed you up so bad that all you could do is cry and drool. If you could even do that.
One thing to keep in mind if you ever do come across a republican ghost: Samuel Colt is dead, but he never retired.
What you are most probably dealing with is a Kisha which is a liberal ghost. I've made that determination based on several factors. I'll go over them for you point by point.
1) Many people consider hanging photos on the wall as work. Like all liberals a Kisha despises work almost as much as it despises normal and decent people. His knocking down of the photos was a demonstration of his hatred of work.
2) The light fixture, a glass globe, could be considered a representation of the earth. The fact that it is a light fixture means that it gets hotter when the lights are on. To a Kisha, who follows the religion of Global Warming like most liberals, the warming light fixture symbolizes Global Warming. His removal of the light fixture was his standard liberal, impotent attempt to fix something.
3) The fact that the light fixture 'literally floated to the floor in a graceful arc' leads me to believe that the Kisha is a homosexual male.
4) The knocking of the serving trays to the floor is once again the Kisha protesting work like a good liberal.
Since you are dealing with a Kisha whatever you do do NOT do any smudging. The Kisha will smell the smoke, think you've got some free weed (or other smoking drug), and invite more Kisha friends to move in. You would soon have a houseful of Kisha.
If you really want the Kisha gone, and I can completely understand why a person wouldn't want a liberal in the house, there are a few things that you can do.
a) Audibly say stuff like "Jesus" or "God bless you" as you walk around the house. Like a lot of liberals any mention of "Jesus" or "God" really terrifies a Kisha.
b) Buy a gun. Even a toy gun. Like most liberals when a Kisha sees a gun he's terrified that the gun will jump up, load itself, and just start shooting itself at random.
c) Set up a liberal dream booth outside on the front lawn. Make up posters that read "The military are baby killers", "The US sucks", "Long live Communism", and (most importantly) "Get free stuff here", and place the posters in open view. The Kisha will see the posters and rush to the booth to offer his support. While the Kisha is busy admiring and agreeing with all of the posters, you take a black, permanent marker and write "Ronald Reagan was great" over the doorway of your residence. The Kisha will never return.
