Haunted House

Willie’s place is haunted. Or so I like to say to freak him out.

There’s a wooden wardrobe in the bedroom that the last tenant must’ve decided to leave behind. He was looking through the drawers hoping to find something interesting, and pulled out… an old passport.

Although it was in Chinese and we couldn’t read it, it had obviously expired long ago. The girl who it belonged to would be a few years older than us now and the picture showed her as a young child.

Willie become especially distraught when I mentioned the haunted idea, I didn’t expect anything like that from him. Lack of scepticism – I’ve found a new weakness! Now I can just paint the whole place pink and say the ghost told me to.

Granted the photo did look rather eerie, but who wouldn’t in a faded passport photo? They don’t let you smile in those things.

    Ooh a haunted house, what fun In my house I would be the one freaking my wife out with that story. I always assumed (I don’t know why) that girls are more afraid of ghosts than guys. Maybe that is just because my wife is the scared one in our house.The Wardrobe reminds me of Narnia. Maybe you should make sure there isn’t a gateway to another world back there.

    Definately Narnia material and speaking of I love that book “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”…..it just gives me the willies *shudder*. But it is interesting to find things like that if it is just for a moment in time.

    When my friends and I moved into our house we found 80’s porn and an erotic novel down the back of one of the wardrobes. …Not so haunting.

    I’ve never found stuff like that before in any of the homes I’ve moved into, although I’d love to discover nostalgic items such as that passport you’ve found.Gee, that wardrobe is eerie. Perhaps the tenant left it as a reminder of something…?

    This is a really interesting website. I was online and landed here so I’d thought I’d leave a comment. The humor here is good just like someone else stated. =) Skillful and impressive website.

    Eh, you can’t smile in a passport photo? :o My passport has a photo of me smiling, but not that much.Aye, a haunted house! I never knew that guys could be scared of ghosts and such. I thought they were usually the braver ones. Heh, now you can “manipulate” him using his weakness? *Evil grin*

    Just stopping by and loved your blog. Not only does it look great but you have interesting posts and goodies. Once I figure out how the hell WordPress works, I’m totally snagging one of those themes!

    Hey, I’m smiling in my first passport picture (which was, interestingly enough, black and white)! And oooh, better yet, paint the house with pink STRIPES and then take a photograph for us so we can see his lovely expression afterwards.

    I remember one time me and my friend Carla went into a haunted house…we went through the basement, it was so dark but Carla came up behind me and scared me lol then we went up stairs into a small bathroom with a broken mirror…anyways it was so much fun but at the same time spooky.

    That’s strange, because when I had my passport photo taken I smiled and there was no problem. Ah well. Your humor has never ceased to amuse, though..

    what if the place is really hunted and the ghost gets angry at you for trying to use it to paint it pink? scared now?
