@Laura2592 :
I don’t know what the proper response to “Is it haunted?”
Maybe, “Would you like it to be?”
If the answer is yes, you could provide “The Haunting Experience” for a modest additional charge, depending on the fright level they request.
Level One: A few spiders under the bed, muffled thumping noises during the night, perhaps a piercing scream at about 3:00 A.M.
Level Ten: Full Demonic Possession. Constant shrieking, blood dripping down the walls, levitation and projectile vomiting. ((Extra cleaning charges will be applied to the bill.)
I have the same problem regarding the possibility of wild animals in the vicinity.
The human population of this area is approximately two per square mile. One of them is me and the other is my wife.
Do you really think nothing else lives around here?
So when someone first asked me about bears, I assumed that they were hoping to see one, so I said yes.
Wrong. They left immediately because they didn’t “feel safe.”
I have lived here for more than 40 years and I’ve never yet had one knock on my door, ransack my garbage can, or eat my porridge.
They have enjoyed the same considerate behavior on my part.
I don’t want to meet them and they don’t want to meet me.
People are more likely to find a little house made of gingerbread in the forest than a bear. I guess I should warn them not to eat any of it if they do.
