ghost busters?

This morning four cars turned up next door. Six well-dressed people emerged, looking serious and a little bit awkward. Turns out that these folks are clairvoyants who specialize in detecting spirit presences. Our neighbour Elisabeth, has had an odd smell in her house since moving in, watch helplessly as they moved towards her door. Her daughter had arranged for the, um, visitation, hoping to find the cause of the smell, which had been apparent from the time of her mother's moving in. It was kind of a last resort before tearing the place apart.

Personally, I put the smell down to our living on what was once a hanging swamp, where the soil remains quite damp and tends to smell a somewhat musty. Still, a little ghost-hunting never hurt anyone.

Or did it?
