Ash and her family were in the living room watching the news. Their house was massive, so was their living room. Ash was resting her head on the back of the couch, as her eyes were closed. Suddenly, the whole house got extremely cold. Ash opened her eyes and realized that the television had turned off. Her mom got up and tried to turn on the television, but nothing. The windows started to frost up, everyone's breath was becoming visible. Ash curled up into a blanket, then, everything was back to normal. The television was back on, the frost was gone, the temperature was back. What the heck happened? "Hey mom?" "What's up Ash?" "Are we not gonna talk about what happened?" "There's no point, the house has been like this ever since we moved here" "I know, but didn't you say that it was fixed after that guy came?" "Yes, but maybe he didn't fix it properly" "How? He was fixing our wiring for months!" "Ashley! Just go to your room! I don't wanna answer more of your questions!" Ash rolled her eyes, got up, and walked all the way across the living room, then the entrance, then the stairs. She finally reached her room, as soon as she opened her door, she slammed it behind her, hoping that her mom would hear. She walked to her bed and laid down, then, the same thing happened. "Will this ever end?" She said to herself. She got into her blankets to warm up. As soon as she wrapped herself in her blankets, it stopped. She had a feeling that this wasn't any wiring issue, but she didn't know what it was, but it definitely wasn't something good...

Sam was visualizing about a mansion frosting up. He then opened his eyes with a spoon in his mouth. He threw the spoon at Dean, his brother. His brother always liked to play games with him, "Rise and Shine Sammy" "It's Sam" "Sure it is" "Whatever, anyways, where are we?" Sam asked as Dean pulled into a large city "That's a good question" "Seriously Dean, where are we?" "And I'll say it again, that's a good question!" "Dean..." "Alright, I went on your little computer last night and read that in this city, that there is a neighbourhood having some issues with their houses" "What kinda issues?" "Ghost issues, like cold temperatures, electrical issues, y'know, those kinda issues" Dean said as he pulled into the "richest" part of the neighbourhood. Dean pulled in-front of a massive mansion, a mansion that Sam visualized about. They both got out of the car and got into their "electrical wear." They both walked up to two big doors, then Dean rang the doorbell. A beautiful brunette woman opened the door, "Hello! Can I help you?" She said with a softest voice "Hello, we're the electricians, we're gonna look at what's going on with your lights" Dean said "Oh! Well please, c'mon in" She said opening the door wider letting the two tall men in.

"By the way I'm Ashley, you two can call me Ash for short" Ash said walking them into the huge dining room "I'm Dean, this is Sam" "Well it's nice to meet you two" "You as well, so where's this electrical issue happening?" Sam asked "Practically everywhere around the house, last night it happened two times, which is super strange since it only happens once" "Is it just lights flickering?" Dean asked "No, it's colder temperatures, frost on the windows, no lighting at all actually" "Does anyone else live here?" Sam asked "Yeah, this is my parents house, I'm still waiting to move out, if I can find a place" "Okay, well, we're gonna get to work" Sam said "Okay, kitchens over there if you're hungry, bathroom is upstairs to the right, I'll be in my room!" Ash said walking away. Sam had a good eye on her. He was blushing hard, "Hello? Earth to Sam, Sam to Earth!" Dean said waving his hand in front of Sam's face "Huh?" "Listen Mr. On Cloud 9, can we get to work?" "Oh yeah, sorry..." The lights turned off, the temperature dropped, frost was on the windows, "Well, she wasn't lying" Dean said looking around "Yeah, she wasn't" Sam said. Then, everything was back to normal "Huh, is anything like this in dad's journal?" Sam asked "Lemme see..." Dean said flipping through the pages "...No, nothing, maybe it could be under ghosts... not there either" "That's so weird, what do you think it is?" "I don't know, but whatever it is, it's not good..."
