"What do you mean? Why did you leave the job?" "For ten years, I stood at the gate and never entered this...cursed house, no one else also dared but one day I heard screams of young girls and boys from inside, I rushed in to find their blood smeared bodies...I...I left the next day; now our elders say that this house has became a magnet for roaming violent spirits...but don't be alarmed...you are safe here." She looked into his dead eyes and turned away from him - walking ba
