Less than a week after his return to management, 'Ollie' has turned ghostbuster.
"Apparently there's a poltergeist at large here because the other day I was in the office and the door opened said.
But there are greater mysteries to solve in the West country like how the Robins landed in the quicksands of League Two.
This is the club Ossie Ardiles and Glenn Hoddle ushered into the Premier League in 1993.
They won only five games out of 42, and shipped 100 goals, but they had some fun at the County Ground as well, like the day Eric Cantona was sent off in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
Dear old Eric thought Sir Alex Ferguson had told him to get stuck in with "mon coeur" but instead he piled into John Moncur and saw red.
At 61, Holloway is just 11 games away from reaching 1,000 as a manager. Four years after his last assignment at Grimsby, he feared the phone had stopped ringing for good and he would be stranded just short of the magic landmark.
Now he is within reach of exalted company including Fergie, Brian Clough, Sir Bobby Robson, Arsene Wenger, Graham Taylor, Harry Redknapp, Roy Hodgson and Jim Smith.
