Ghost story time! 👻 This is the 300 year old grave of a little girl who always wanted to sail with her captain father, but died of disease her first time at sea.
She was put into a rum keg as her father promised her mother she would return home no matter what. They hoped the rum would prevent the spread of any bacteria, and it worked.
She was buried in the keg, and she still lingers in the graveyard at night. Sometimes as an apparition, sometimes as a faint happy humming tune.
People still bring toys to her grave (I bring shells, and if I don't have any I'll just fix up the gifts that have fallen). This time I left her the purplest oyster shell I've ever found 💜

why did it have to be a *golf course* of all things?? why not sell to the National Trust and preserve the history of the house? see it restored to its former glory? come back for tea and scones? Button House deserved better!!!

We don't talk about Robin enough. He has been around for thousands of years. His favourite game is chess. Everyone he ever knew has died. His best friend is a slutty politician. He has no constant and is the constant. He loves the family of mice in the stairs. He's so nice. We dont talk about Robin enough :)

Dear magisowo
I just moved into a new home, and, on paper, it had everything I needed: close to my university, walkable city, and no low hanging lights I can hit my horns on. On paper, that is.
See, the issue started the day I moved in. The landlord gave me my keys, and I went inside. The interior was nice, however, as I quickly discovered, my new home was already inhabited by a multitude of ghosts, who were, to their credit, just as confused as me.
They're not troublesome spirits, far from it, but i was under the impression that a landlord had to disclose things like this before you sign the lease. (But it is my first time renting, so i may be mistaken) Either way, the landlord isn't returning my phone calls.
According to Martha (oldest ghost in the house, very motherly) none of them were informed the house was even open to new tenants. We're willing to compromise and try to live together, but as of right now, it's.. crowded. I wasn't prepared for roommates and they weren't prepared for me. Do we have any legal options here? I'm not looking to get them kicked out, of course, just wondering if we could get compensation from the landlord.. or at the very least a second bathroom.

Hello!
We’re sorry to hear you were taken by surprise in such a way! Let us first assure you that your landlord should indeed have told you that the building you were renting is haunted. Not doing so is a violation of the duty to disclose that every landlord has towards their tenants.
Even if your landlord was not aware of the haunting (which, though unlikely, is possible if they lack all second sight) it is still their responsibility to have their property inspected for such things. Considering you are Sighted yourself and are not opposed to sharing with the ghosts, we are guessing you’re not looking to get out of your lease, but it is certainly grounds to renegotiate your rent.
When it comes to the rights of your ghostly housemates, that is rather more tricky. Our current laws still state that the incorporeal cannot have legal possession of physical property, but there are various provisions in place to protect their well-being. The following people may be able to help you:
The Dial-a-Ghost Agency, experts in (re)housing haunting spirits. In case any of your housemates wish to relocate.
The neighbourhood mediums of our Medium-ation Programme. They usually mediate between people like yourself and the spirits haunting them, but they also have a great deal of knowledge on the ghostly and will be able to communicate with your housemates.
If necessary we can help you find a lawyer specialising in tenancy law, or an Incorporeal Entity Advocate that can look into your housemates' options.
Sincerely,
~ the MagISoWo Team
