Well, that's not good. Don't scrape it until you've applied some type of stripper. I would suggest using Citristrip.
It smells nice, you can use it indoors and it works great. Wear gloves, put a thin coat on the raised junk (lol) - don't slop it on and let it drip. Remove it a little at a time. I think it would work. The Stripper I recommended in my earlier post is very messy, runny and STINKS. The CitriStrip is thicker. Walmart used to carry this. You may need to run by Home Depot, Lowe's or Ace Hardware.
P.S. - Protect the floors - it will strip everything it touches!

Pressing, about the stripper (ok, that sounds weird...), is there a waiting period until I can repaint? Also, does it remove a little at a time and I can reapply as necessary?

No, there isn't a waiting period. Yes, it will remove a little at a time. It might get the top surface off allowing you to scrape the rest. You will have to see. Test a spot and see what happens. You need to be careful not to get your sheetrock really wet. You will gouge the surface. That's why I think it would be good to put a thin layer on at a time. Lay some plastic on the floor. Not newspaper, obviously. Don't use a foam brush - it will melt. lol Use gloves, did I say to use gloves?
I would come and help you if I lived close by and if you paid me. J/K on the payment!!!

Cool. I'll let you know how it goes.
I'm just not sure why someone would do that to a house they didn't own. The owners had no idea she'd done that. Ugh!
