The Earth I come from we have been plagued by what is called The Problem for close to fifty years. In short, the dead rise back up and haunt the living and over a million people have been killed by ghosts in the past four decades. [ Okay, technically speaking he probably should have bought Steven tea before dumping all this on him, but Lockwood decides to just go for it. ]
