Hot irons have been around since the ahem "iron age" Get it? that's what passes as a joke around here! No, clothes irons have been in use since people decided unwrinkled is better. There is much debate on the history of irons. Every source seems to say something different. No one thought it was important to keep a history of such a humble home helper!
Hot irons have been used for many many years, possibly as far back as the Romans and Greeks. We know when iron, the metal was discovered, and we know Romans and Greeks wore clothes primarily of linen, so it's likely to assume that they used iron in some shape or form to unwrinkle them. In China they placed hot stones in flat metal trays to flatten fabrics. Tropical countries placed hot ashes in coconut shells to press fabric. I assume tailors used something to neaten and flatten seams, that's been an imprtant part of tailoring since needle was set to fabric. So tailors would have had to have used something.
Modern irons shaped like a hoof or delta appear in engravings from the 1600's onward. In the 1500's and 1600's heated irons were used to make the elaborate ruffles worn at the time, engravings from the time show these two part tools in use in tailor shops with the irons and the iron rollers heating in fireplaces. By the 1800's the dressmaker, tailor and homemaker had hundreds of iron shapes to choose from. There were two part pleating irons, large flat irons, rounded puff irons, crimping irons, all were placed on the top of the stove to heat, all had detachable handles and all were back breakingly heavy.
When a few homes began to be equipped with electricity an enterprising inventor though to put heater coils into a light hollowed out iron-shape made of a plate of steel, rather than real iron. He attached a permanent handle on it and named it "hotpoint" after the hot point on the plate made by the heating coils. To prove his invention was a good one he sold them door to door in one town. Domestic electricity use tripled on Tuesday's -the day old time housewives ironing day -in that town because of the iron's use and proved that there was a market for a lightweight electric clothes iron. It also proved that bringing electricity to everyone's homes made good business sense. It was the humble iron that directly led to our electrified homes. Today the iron is everywhere and has more features than anyone could imagine back in the 1600's.

Answer
You need to renovate your room and repaint the room in a bright colour scheme - eg. tangy orange and green. Patch up any holes and cracks in the walls before painting to prepare the surface. Put a large mirror in the wall opposite the window of the room to increase the light. Paint the ceiling white and have a light whitish flooring to help reflect and increase the light in the room. Even if the ceiling is already white, paint it again with new paint as new paint is cleaner and more reflective than old paint. Change the light fittings in the room to accomodate greater lighting and use table or floor lamps to increase the light for task lighting and to highlight areas of the room. Replace your window if it is old as new glass lets more light in and if possible replace it with a larger window. Replace curtains with cream coloured roman curtains. Have a fan heater to keep your room cosy when required or if you can afford it one of those romantic looking electric flame effect ones but avoid having an open fireplace. Open the windows and curtains fully for ventilation and light during the day. Mop and vacuum regularly and keep the room spick and span and dust and spider web free. Change all old furnishings into new modern furnishings or if you budget doesn't allow replace fabric furnishings with new ones eg. pillows and pillow covers, rugs, throws.
For a more natural look, choose furnishing and flooring made of bamboo, light wood venners, linen and cotton weaves.
Ghosts will want to move to a darker, more gloomy and derelict room of the building.
