Good Gawd!

Yikes is right
Open house today!
@mossygreen I wonder how many people are gonna show up in their Halloween costumes? Too bad i can’t make it today to find out, dammit!
@ircon96 @mossygreen
Maybe they’ll hold another on Sunday?
@Kyeh @mossygreen Unfortunately, that wouldn’t do me much good, since I’m not very mobile these days in general… Although i feel compelled to go & rescue those poor chickens!
@ircon96 @mossygreen
Can you talk a friend or relative into checking it out?
@mossygreen @Kyeh I wish… I have nobody left that lives nearby, except my elderly neighbor friend, whom i doubt would be into it. She’s not the “unique” type, like us Mehtizens.
I might have been able to convince her if it were a consignment shop or something! Lol
@ircon96 @mossygreen
Aww, too bad!
@mossygreen @Kyeh I know! I’m SO curious… Maybe if i make it out of the house anytime soon, i can at least do a drive-by. I doubt it’d be anything interesting, though, it seems to be on a tiny, fairly isolated road, not the kind of high-traffic area worth going all-out for Halloween! Lol
@ircon96 @mossygreen
What about @gogrrl? Are you thinking of going?
@ircon96 @Kyeh @mossygreen nah…I live in California. I just saw this posted on a Facebook page and thought the good folks of Meh might aprreciate it as well.
If I lived nearby I would definitely check it out, though. And post pictures of me looking scared.

Yeah, that interior decorating job IS pretty scary!
But seriously, what a small world, that’s practically in my neighborhood. Google tells me it’s about an 8-minute drive away. That’s comforting.
Lol
@ircon96 Does that house have any sort of history, do you know?
@Kyeh Not that i know of, I’ve never even heard of the road it’s on. The listing says it was built in 1991, i think, which was a few years before my late husband & i moved to this town, so if there were any scary stories about it, I’m sure we would have heard something! Lol
@ircon96
Oh, so it’s not even very old. I suppose it could be built over a former gravesite or something…
Do you get the local paper, or are you on the local Nextdoor? I’m curious about whether people are talking about the listing!
@Kyeh Funny you asked that, i just posted about it being on the local news this morning. If they had featured it earlier in the week, the open house probably would have been epic! Lol
That’s hilarious, but probably not a great strategy to sell a home.
@ACraigL My thoughts exactly! I’d be picturing him around every corner if I bought the house. But it IS funny from over here.
@ACraigL @callow
I bet that house is gonna get more online views than any home in the area.
@Star2236 Exactly! More views online + more spreading images = more visits = more likely to find a buyer. Any strategy that finds a buyer is a good strategy. It’s not like KnifeGuy conveys with the sale unless the buyer is into weird contracts.
@ACraigL @Star2236 Yep, I’ve passed it on to a few people!
@rockblossom @Star2236 Also, it’s a pretty boring interior without the … um, visitor.
This one is my favorite.
A bit understated, but still threatening.
@blaineg I like the fact that he is in every picture, though he is harder to spot in the first ones. It’s fun to go back and find him - like a Halloween version of “Where’s Waldo?”
@blaineg though he’s pulling the knife out of the drawer, there’s clearly one missing from the knife rack over the stove.
Yes, I’ve spent too much time looking at this…
@blaineg @rockblossom You mean where’s Jason? I wonder if Jamie Lee Curtis lives nearby?
KuoH
@blaineg @kuoh @rockblossom
No, where’s Michael?
@blaineg @Kyeh @rockblossom Hmm… guess I’m not that much of a fan of horror movies. I wonder which movie Jason is from?
KuoH
@blaineg @kuoh @rockblossom
I don’t watch any of them, but I hear about them all the time. It’s Friday the 13th.
Omg!!!
Is he verified in every one of the 28 pictures? IDK if it’s my screen or my eyesight, but I couldn’t spot him in all 28 of them. In fact, in a few of the first several, only my imagination found him.
@phendrick Yeah, he’s there. I like it better in those beginning ones - it’s scarier in a way.
It seems like this thing is picking up steam… They featured it on the local news this morning. They interviewed the realtor, who said he & the owner are both horror movie fans. Ya don’t say?
Here’s the link to the video & article on the news channel’s website, in case anyone’s interested.

@ircon96 Oh, cool!
@ircon96 Thanks for sharing that. Not surprised the house hasn’t sold yet, though.

@gogrrl @Kyeh But the realtor says it’s not haunted… And a realtor would never lie, right?
They mentioned on Zillow alone the listing had over 60,000 views, i wonder how many it has total on all the sites. By Halloween, it’ll probably break a record! 
@gogrrl @ircon96
Yeah, I’ll bet! Too funny!
Uh oh, now the story got picked up by the national news, it was on ABC’s early morning news show, America This Morning, today. I hope that realtor has LOTS of assistants to answer &/or weed through all the prank calls, texts & emails he’s sure to be getting!
