Nobody's House is a 1976 British children's fantasy-drama programme produced by Tyne Tees Television for ITV. The seven-episode series follows a mischievous ghost named Nobody, a teenage Victorian orphan who haunts a house, visible only to the two children of the newly arrived Sinclair family.
The Sinclair family buy an old house in the country to set up an antique shop. It was a workhouse in 1865 and none of its previous tenants stayed long as it was haunted by a teenage boy who died from the Plague. On their first day, the ghost moves things around in hopes that the family would move out. But in the night, the entity alerts young Tom and Gilly to a fire in the basement. The fire is put out, and the ghost agrees not to haunt the children if they would be his friends.

Tom has to write a history essay and asks Nobody to tell him what life was like in the 1800s. Nobody tells him about Jack Treadful, a wicked Fagin-like man who used to send the children out to steal for him. Nobody retrieves Jack from the police station he haunts, but once at the house, he steals Peter's prize snuff box. Unable to tell his parents about the ghosts, Tom and Nobody plot to tell Peter where Jack keeps his stolen treasures in the basement if he does not return the box.
