If you know what to look for, then Paranormal Witness is great fodder for a blog like this...
I'm going to start with a recent episode, "The House on the Lake," which showcased the plight of a real estate developer, Michael. In the opening minutes I feel inclined to root for the ghosts, but he doesn't seem all bad. Besides, not even the most nefarious real estate developers deserve a bad haunting.
Anyway, the story begins with Michael buying a beautiful, but rundown, mansion by a lake in New York state. In order to cut costs, he decides to live in his newly acquired property while doing all the renovations himself (kudos. I can barely swing a hammer!). The first thing Michael finds is an unused third floor full of leftover memories. In other words, a bunch of useless items that have been moldering in the lonely ethos of that house forever.
Michael decides that hauling all that crap out of the attic is too daunting of an enterprise. Therefore, he chooses to go ahead and move himself in before dealing with it. Mistake # 1.
But, he doesn't stop there. Michael is so anxious to begin turning the house into a successful apartment building, he starts renovating the very night he moves in. Big Mistake #2. Personally, I believe that this was an anxious reaction to a screaming subconscious, but more on that later.
Well, big shock, this is when the activity goes from simmer to boil.
To be continued...
