There was also a house in which a guy who didn't want ghosts to find him had made some modification to make it hard for them - like changing the flow of the hot/cold water backwards etc.
The old man was possessed probably by a ghost of some famous people or maybe some nazi (but it was revealed at the end of the book probably). The title was very strange (and probably long).

Were they also using palindromes (I think that's the word? a word or phrase you can read backward and forward, like "Madam, I'm Adam") to confuse the ghosts? It could be
Expiration Date, or maybe another book by Tim Powers.
