Oh, I'm sorry. One of my girlfriends referred you to me. You know, her friend is a l-e-s-b-i-a-n who owns a New Age Bookstore. She said someone put up a card there and they were just like the Ghosbusters.
Okay, dear. I won't take up too much more of your time. It's just that darling accent of yours. I bet people stop you on the street all the time and ask if you're in one of those darn Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Anyway, my bathroom lights have been flickering and, well, there's a whole lot of moaning and groaning going on at all hours of the night. Now I'm a good church-going woman so I don't believe or mess around with that business, but you seem like a nice young man. I'd really like to get the house back to normal.
I can honestly say that I have never once been asked if I was a pirate.
[John wants to ask if she is sure the problem is ghost related. Creaks of the house could come from any number of sources, same with groaning noises. His immediate thoughts go to something definitely not very Christian like as the problem, but it could also be something as simple as the house settling.
But if she believes there are ghosts John will get rid of them, real or not real. Someone has to earn a living.]
It may be a ghost, may be another entity. Possibly more than one. If it's alright with you I'd like to take a look and make some kind of assessment of what we're dealing with here.
I don't care much about grout, miss, but to be honest a ghost might. Just think of it, what if a previous owner is the source of your little haunt? They become attached to this house in life and then in death what was once their home is never as it was. So they linger upset.
[John is already mentally calculating how much he should charge for this one.]

But also like Bill Murray in that film I do investigate the paranormal. For a fee.
You seem like a lovely woman but this line is for serious inquiries only.

Say, you don't discount for AAA members do you? Costco?

[ There's a loud exhale from the other end. She sounds both put off by the option and enticed all at once. Houses are for company, after all. ]
Well, if it's thorough and included in your package that would be fine. Just don't check my grout for any discoloration!
[ She laughs hard at her own joke, but immediately resends it as not to be rude. ]
No, but really it's been raining cats and dogs over here. I can't keep that floor clean with two boys running around the house.

Or at least, that's my working theory for now.
