Whispers from Beyond

Jay asked in shock as they look at pictures of the Estate,"Whoa, so... so we just own this now? What's the catch?"

"No, no. There's no catch. As I explained to your wife on the phone,her relative passed away and left her this estate."

"Great-Aunt Sophie. I think I met her when I was a kid,
but I-I thought she died years ago." Sam stated, while Brooklyn admired the Estate.

"No, no, she just passed.But the good news is,you're her next of kin." The lawyer told them.

Jay asked with intrigue,"How much do you think we
could sell this place for?"

Sam interrupted her husband,"Assuming we want to sell."

"Uh, yeah, we're not moving into a -year-old house in the middle of nowhere,because that would be...Right, Sam?"

"Well, it's just we don't know the facts yet.He thinks I'm a little impulsive." Sam said and Brooklyn just laughed at them.

"Well, there are a limited number of buyers for a property this size, right? So, you have your bed and breakfast operators..."

Sam gasped and asked,"What if we opened a bed and breakfast? We work insane hours to live in a shoebox that we can barely afford, and somebody's offering us a mansion."

"Sam, we don't know the first thing about running a B and B. And Brooke, don't you think you will be bored?" He tried to get her on his side.

She just shrugged her shoulders and said,"Dad, I think it will be cool. There's a lot of nature I can photograph."

"You're a chef. That's, like, half of the Bs right there.
Plus, I can write freelance articles from anywhere,so we have income while we're getting up and running. And Bee seems to like the idea. That is an annoyingly strong
argument, you have to admit it."

"Okay, let's do this.We haven't seen the place, so we'll go up there for the weekend,and then we'll talk about it."

Sam exclaimed happily,  buzzing with excitement, "Yes! Thank you."

They drove up to the Woodstone Estate. Brooklyn was busy reading a book and was quite distracted. They all got out of the car and looked at the Mansion.

"Beats the hell out of our fifth-floor walkup, huh?"

Jay said, trying to make the place seem worse,"Okay, yeah, it's impressive,but can you reach the fridge from your bed?I think not. "

Brooklyn walked in the entryway with her dog Snowy, searching for a chair where she can sit and finish her book. She will pay attention to the place later.

The family went into a living room and Brooklyn quickly sat on the couch and buried her nose in her book, it just got interesting. Snowy laid on her lap, enjoying a nap.

"Can you believe this place has been in my family for six generations?"

Flower stated,"She's a relative of yours, Hetty."

"Well, I should hope not, with her exposed knees and that saucy hairdo."

They heard some laughter and saw a teenage girl reading a book. The ghosts looked at her and then at Hetty. Quickly seeing the resemblance. Hetty looked at her in shock and told them,"She...She looks a bit like me. She might be related to me."

"Before I forget...This is sage.I'm cleansing the space."

Jay rolled his eyes, not believing in the powers of sage ,"Oh, come on."

"Babe, this is Old House. You light this stuff, and
it wards off evil spirits.
