The new owners had done the house up nicely. They had even decided to stick with the blue and white colour scheme. I could smell the fresh paint as I walked by.
Stopping, I looked at the rows of plant pots because these were new. I heard a window opening and turned sharply to leave.
‘Good morning!’ a cheery woman’s voice called. She had bright red hair and huge glasses.
‘Hello,’ I called back.
‘I just love this house and we got it so cheap too!’
‘That’s because it use to be my house and I buried ten people in the cellar.’
