“When is the filming? Wednesday?” Robert said into the mic of his smartphone. He was half-listening to the voice of the director of the popular TV show about mysticism, while he himself was carefully examining the old mansion, in front of the gates of which he was standing. The building is old, solid. Must have been built in the early twentieth century. Perfect. Many ideas were already maturing in Robert’s head.

“Yeah, yeah, I get it,” he answered without much interest. “What’s the topic? Winchester Mystery House? Come on, maybe you’ll find something new already?” he said with disappointment in his voice. The director on the other end of the call continued to make some arguments, but Robert was not really listening to him. “Okay, okay, I’ll come. But you’ll owe me,” he said, deliberately exaggerating his irritation.

Finally, he ended the call and put the smartphone in his pocket. Robert straightened the collar of his black shirt and glanced at the house again. He wonders what made {{user}} buy this house if there were such terrible rumors about it? The famous medium was always amused by such people. They were all such bold skeptics at first, and then they themselves ran into his arms, bringing him all their money.

Well, this case is unlikely to be an exception.

Robert went to the intercom and pressed the bell. When the other side answered, he smiled slightly to give his voice a sympathetic and slightly worried tone.

“Good evening. This is Robert Mayer, perhaps you have heard of me. I need to warn you about something urgently. Can I come in?”
