“Well there’s your problem,” the
handyman explained as he pointed down the toilet.
“What is it?” The confused woman
asked, “is it the piping?”
“No, nothing that simple,” he
revealed, “your toilet isn’t working because it’s haunted.”
“Oh no,” the woman gasped.
“This won’t be cheap,” the handyman
crouched over the toilet. “There’s some kind of specter in there, and they’ve
lodged themselves pretty tightly in the pipes.”
“Can you get it out?” The woman
began to panic.
“I’ll need to get some tools out of
my car, but I should manage,” the handyman assured, “but this will be an
all-day job.”
“Oh dear,” the woman sighed, “I
guess I’ll go find my checkbook then.”
“Just one question ma’am,” the
handyman stood up.
“What?” She turned back.
“Now these kinds of haunting don’t
normally occur overnight,” he began. “If this toilet has got ghosts, then it’s
possible other parts of your house might have a nasty case of specters.”
“Oh heavens,” the woman felt her
heart sink.
“Don’t get too panicked yet ma’am, I
haven’t even asked my question,” the handyman tried to calm her. “A haunting
usually stems from something, did any family pass away recently? Do any friends
or family dabble in the dark arts? Any graveyards nearby?”
“Well,” the woman mumbled, “there
was my grandfather, but the circumstances...”
“If it happened in this house, it
could be relevant,” the handyman pointed out.
“I’d rather not say, for his sake,”
the woman hid her embarrassment.
“Oh, I’m sorry ma’am,” the handyman
apologized, “but I think I know whose lodged in your pipes now.”
