Maude Pearson

Maude Pearson was the first owner of Cordelia's apartment. She lived in the apartment with her son, Dennis, until he decided to get engaged. Maude seals Dennis into a brick wall alive and leaves him there to die. Years later, she dies alone in her home. Over time, different women move into the apartment, all of which she either convinces to commit suicide or chases them out of the place, until Cordelia Chase arrives. She uses poltergeist tactics to try to get Cordelia to vacate the apartment, which work for a short period of time until, at last, Cordelia and Dennis finally get rid of Maude together.
