Wait… did you hear that? It sounded like a moving truck.
It’s Halloween season and haunted houses are popping up across the country. For the most part, ghosts do not actually haunt these houses, but rather, people decorate the houses to give off a spooky vibe. However, throughout history, Hollywood has depicted both fictional and based-on-fact haunted houses in scary movies.
As far as being a plot point, moving lends itself well because it’s a fresh start to the story. Characters are being thrust into a new environment where they don’t know what they’ll find around the next corner. To that end, moving in real life isn’t too different than in the movies, but we doubt you’ll find ghosts in the attic and crazy killer neighbors living next door.
Here’s hoping your next relocation isn’t into one of these ghostly abodes.
