Entity of a former maid /house manager – Keeping a close eye on the living, making sure that things are up to snuff! She probably put up with no nonsense while she was in charge, and the living need her help to supervise these staff members!
Staff have probably felt a strong unseen presence looking over their shoulder as they performed their duties, which can be unnerving, possibly causing some folks to quit.
