All they have to do is to tell the Spirit to leave to go to Heaven. If they could find out the guys name it would be better to address him by name. At least he is a happy ghost. I have a ghost in my house in White Settlement. He just moves things. Very exasperating when you know exactly where you put something at it isn't there. I would tell a friend and show her the spot and what was missing. She would have the job of checking to see if the object had returned. It would take several months sometimes for objects to re appear or I would find them in a strange place-like the attic! I initially thought one of my cats was carrying off things. My really smart pit bull would act like she would hear something-she had ears like AWACS-and go looking and no one would be there. Her hair would bristle until she found no-one. I used to call it my "Indian Spirit" because it was usually something Indian being hidden.
