Best Answer

The pressure of water in the pipes is called the 'head of pressure' and it is the difference in level between the water surface height (above sea level) in the nearest reservoir to the height (above sea level) of your tap. This 'head' will be higher for a downstairs tap than an upstairs tap and therefore the pressure and water flow rate upstairs will be less than for downstairs.

How do you see the ghosts in the old chateau?

The little ghost girl can be found when you enter into the fourth room upstairs from the west. You'll see her in the room beside the one you entered where she gradually floats out of the room. (She may appear randomly and not every time.) The butler can be found downstairs in the dining room where he slowly floats off-screen.
