Flood-proof, with a gated yard and a mature tree? Sounds like a dream house, not a nightmare.

Bonus: extra friends, and if you offer a sacrifice yearly, they defend the place when you are gone - woot!

Not to mention the lack of light pollution. Those are actual stars and I'm surprised I recognize them.

Nice catch! It would have made more sense if the user you replied to noticed it first, based on their name.

edit: I take it back, you both have star in your name! You should become friends, to make this go full-circle!

I agree - and we're dragging you into this circle as well (and no, not only bc @nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz and I need a sacrifice - but also bc we'll enjoy your company forever afterwards!:-)

Ooh thanks for the scary movie recommendation. Glad I'm not in your immediate sacrifice plans hehe (⊙ _ ⊙ ). Friends, for now.

Yes as @ettyblatant@lemmy.world mentioned, that one and even more so Haunting of Bly Manor are two of the best shows I have ever watched - not merely best "horror" show mind you, but best period. It's fantastic storytelling! Horror shows have really come up lately, compared to older ones that got less attention and funding to make.

And no worries - we haven't even secured the house yet!? Maybe when we do, we can roll dice to see who gets to go first:-D.

That series is genuinely creepy, and I even screamed out loud once! My girlfriend won't rewatch with me but I probably put that series and it's sister show Haunting of Bly Manor on once a year 👻💨

Bet it has a grave yard on property. If your lonely you can dig up some friends.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago

Or if only pieces are left, you can "make" some new friends!? 😜

Sure, but the place is a money trap. Water damage everywhere, squirrels living in the walls, and 80 year old plumbing/electricity

"I am Jack's complete lack of surprise." Where is this house located, Paper Street?

The portal to the underworld in the basement that the previous owner failed to disclose.

Watching a scary movie: "Bruh what kind of a moron would willingly choose to live in a haunted house"

looks at housing market

"oh"

I grew up in a hundred year old haunted house.

I would say more benign than friendly.
