Now THAT'S funny!  I wouldn't buy the house without the Knight!

Here's my story:  We bring a local landmark house to market and publicize the first open house.  Knowing it is going to be well-attended, it's all hands on deck.  The interior hasn't been seen in more than 75 years and the house is 150 years old.  It was alternately a single-family, multi-family, boarding house and then a rental with stories of spectres.

An older woman and her mother (had to be pushing 100 yrs old), come to the OH.  There, in the living room, she's trying to make her mother recall the "laying out" of her youngest daughter who died as a child in the home.  Fell down the back stairs. No funeral homes at the time, so wakes were held in the living room.  The room is full and hushed with visions of a dead little girl laying in front of the bay window on the dining room table.......

"Shall we go see the kitchen?"

Lori I think you were very brave to continue that tour.  Just the picture weirds me out!  Oh Cathy I am thankful most of our homes are newer (50 year old) ranch style homes!  Most of the "old" homes are over the hill in down town Los Angeles.  With the exception of the few adobes left over from the Spanish land grant days.  Lori don't forget your eye bracelet to ward off the evil eyes!

Feng Shui 101 - no medieval accouterments in front yard. They belong on the east side yard only . . . LOL!

What about gargoyles?  We have a house chock-a-block full of those.  And a framed poster of all haunted houses on Cape Cod.  I don't think anyone's beating a path to that door.
