Monkey business in bedroom.
A circus monkey which has left a trail of disorder since it escaped in Trento, North Italy, last week, invaded a school-mistress’s Alpine home near Trento yesterday. It lined up all available flower vases on her bedroom floor. Removed all her clothes from the wardrobe to lay them out neatly on the bed. And fled with several tubes of lipstick.

Ok so this isn’t a poltergeist report. But it just seems amazingly unlikely to be a chaotic monkey and the careful lining up of things rang a bell.
