* SecretSquatter: In the second series, the gang are staying in an empty mansion that is being converted into a retirement home. Barry hears a local ghost story about how the mansion is haunted, and after hearing the story food starts disappearing from the refrigerator and objects start moving when the gang is out working. Barry thinks this is proof that the ghost story is true, but Oz gets to the bottom of the mystery by putting superglue on the fridge door handle; it turns out the "ghost" was a homeless man who had been squatting at the house and hiding in a cupboard during the day. They give him some new clothes and money, and send him on his way instead of calling the police.
