Geocache Description:


"Now, of all the insane ideas! I told him no one in their right mind would do that!" the old woman says to you when you ask for her husband's remains. You had read an article in the old town paper during your research of the house. It reported that the last known descendant of the last known owner of the Haunted House still lived in town. It read that the man wanted to obtain ownership of the property and fix it up. His wife, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with the many curses spoke of around that bit of land. She was a superstitious one and forbade him from pursuing that dream or she'd leave him. And so he obeyed and lived out his life happily but always curious. Or so the old woman told you as you sat down to tea with her. It's too bad he passed away a few years ago or you'd be having a better conversation with him. You probably overstepped her hospitality when you suggested he get his last wish and have his ashes spread inside the Haunted House. She only mentioned his will to talk of his obsession with the place and how you should stay away. She's so sick of hearing about it over the years. However, it dawns on her that she'd finally be rid of people pestering her about the house if she gave in. She stands up, walks over to the mantle, grabs the urn, and tosses it your way. "There, let the ol' curmudgeon have his way for once!" Good thing these things are sealed up nowadays.


There is a house in town that everyone knows but only few speak of, and even then only around this time of year. It's usually stated that the old abandoned house is more than that. This silhouette of another time, people say, does not suffer fools. All know that the place has a terrible curse on it. Spectres have been seen in the windows and on some dreary nights, the overgrown garden. Those that have ventured close to the property have reported a chilling feel in their bones. Most have paid heed to the warning and left. No one slights them for it. The minute few who have thought themselves brave enough to enter, the old women in town tell, have not been seen again.

Do you consider yourself of courageous mettle? You shouldn't. It's not bravery you have but stupidity. You're best not to dwell on the idea again.
