So the story was pretty sad, and morbid, and just wrong if you asked her. "Old man Murdoch" lived with his six daughters and killed them one at a time, hung all six of them to keep them from starving to death. He then hung himself. Didn't the guy ever hear of adoption?
The house was creepy inside and out. It was the stereotypical haunted house straight from the movies: rotted wood, busted windows, dead lawn…everything just screamed haunted. The rumors were apparently well known around town because there was spray paint all over the walls, along with assorted beer bottles, cigarette packs and whatnot.
"Looks like Old Man Murdoch was a bit of tagger in his days" Dean commented.
"And after his days too." He motioned to the symbols. "The reverse cross has been used by Satanists for centuries but this sulfur symbol wasn't around until the sixties."
Dean stared at him blankly. "This is exactly why you don't get laid." He shouldn't have said that in front of Kayla.
All three of them turned towards the door when they heard the movement in the next room. They proceeded with caution, Dean shoved the door open and they were confronted by two geeks with a camera.
"What are you doing here?" One of them asked.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Dean responded.
"Uh, we belong here? We're professionals…"
"Professional what?" Kayla tried not to laugh at Dean's irritation.
"Paranormal Investigators." He handed a business card, yes, a business card, to Sam. "Check that out."
Sam looked at it, unimpressed. "Well I'll be damned. Ed Zeddmore and Harry Spangler, Hell Hounds . You're the ones who run that website."
"The same."
Dean nodded and walked past them. "We're huge fans."
Sam and Dean remarkably stood and listened to the fanatics about their "job" investigating ghosts and their special EMF reader and how they'd never actually seen a ghost. They never threatened them, they didn't even argue with them. Just let them live in their little fantasy world and told them we were leaving. It was awful nice of them, until they got into the car and busted out laughing.
"How dare you guys deface the idea of the paranormal you amateurs." Kayla shook her head, what a couple of cards.
