It was an old house. Of course it came with a ghost. It had been a farm in the ancient days of yore, before urbanisation subdivided the land again and yet again, and it became the last house along a new street that had once been its driveway, and, simultaneously, the oldest house on the street. The buildings around it were only slightly older than the sixties, and were all squat, blocky bricks compared to this ancient Gothic heap.

His Abuela had taught him how to remove curses from old houses, and he had a box full of saint's candles for just such an emergency.

There was barely enough room to move his stuff inside.
