Most unusually for a ghost, it seems Myrtle does have some control over physical matter; apparently her haunting of the bathroom has rendered it unusable, mainly because she keeps flooding the place when she gets depressed. This is useful to the story in [[../../Books/Chamber of Secrets|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']] in two respects: Mrs. Norris is Petrified (in the chapter [[../../Books/Chamber_of_Secrets/Chapter_8|The Deathday Party]]), rather than being killed, because she sees the reflection of the Basilisk rather than seeing the Basilisk directly. The image is reflected in the water that Myrtle has caused to flood out of the bathroom because she was so upset at the insults lobbed at her by [[../Peeves/]] at [[../Nearly Headless Nick/]]'s Deathday party. Additionally, it is Myrtle's unwelcoming presence in the washroom that allows Hermione the time and space to make [[../../Magic/Polyjuice_Potion|Polyjuice Potion]]; nobody willingly goes in there more than once, after being subjected to Myrtle's aggressive depression.

Myrtle's affinity for water also allows her to help Harry with the Second Task in [[../../Books/Goblet of Fire|''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']]; as the second task involves the [[../../Magic/Merpeople|Merpeople]] under the lake, Myrtle is instrumental in allowing Harry to solve the riddle surrounding the task, and also points him in the right direction when he is looking for the Merpeople during the task proper. Myrtle says that she sometimes ends up in the lake when someone flushes a toilet in her bathroom and she's not expecting it, which may lead us to wonder about Wizarding sanitation practices.
