What is The haunting of Uncle Ron about?

When Uncle Ron comes to stay, Ian and his parents expect him to leave after a few days. But Ron settles in, eats everything in sight and spends his time chatting to ghosts. Unfortunately, the spirits he talks to are more interested in doors and forgotten bits behind the fridge than in anything exciting. With the whole family losing patience, Ian decides that the only way to reclaim their home is to invent a haunting of his own and send Uncle Ron packing.
