Yeah - that one was haunted

Yeah - that one was haunted

So we’re working on this home in Salt Lake City. At first glance it’s a pretty cool home - it’s in one of the older neighborhoods, tons of personality to the area. The front door to this place is vintage 1920 and inside it has those gorgeous hardwood floors that older homes have. Then there’s the ornate-ness that you often get in those craftsman homes, and the cool features that you only get from homes of that era. The home was really not trashed, bringing doubts at first as to whether it really was contaminated.
But yeah - it was. 
So we didn’t really have to yank out carpets in this one - the place was all hardwood. That was nice. What wasn’t so nice was there was a big fat bee in there that kept coming after my partner. Of course he’s doing the heavy lifting and this bee is bugging him. Finally he is able to lock it in the bathroom and move forward with what he’s doing. I go in the bathroom a bit later - no bee.No escape.
So I blew that off and work continued. Working now in the basement, he has his headphones on listing to tunes. All of the sudden he gets this high pitched screech in his headphones and a smack to the side of his head that left a bruise.. Wasn’t me - I can’t hit that hard.
So what do you do? That was a bit eery, but there’s a job to do so we keep working. A minute later and the basement door slams. Hard. We go up to see if there’s someone upstairs or open windows/doors. Nuttin. Apparently something doesn’t want us there. 
Then we find out from the neighbors that “weird” things have been happening in that home. I didn’t ask, but I’m sure that whatever weird things may have happened were probably - yeah. Weird. 
Hey, it’s a paycheck, right? They smacked my buddy around a bit, but in the end, we decontaminated the place. We’ll see if we decontaminated the poltergeists. 


The living room to the place. The window was interesting and the floor was awesome. At least the ghost had good taste for places to hang out
