In the next few months I am hoping to acquire a house and I am also hoping that maybe, just maybe, it will have something extra, other than the usual amenities. Am I crazy for wanting to experience more supernatural energy? I’m so drawn to it.. I can’t even begin to explain. I imagine it’s like people who jump out of a plane. That high they must experience is too euphoric to resist. Speaking of buying a haunted house, I was searching the City TV archives and stumbled upon the following article.

Would-Be Homeowners Balk At Buying A “Haunted House”
Thursday August 31, 2006
The housing market in the G.T.A. continues to churn out record numbers, with more and more homes and condos getting record prices. The Danforth has always been a coveted area, but there’s one home in the neighbourhood that may end up literally spooking away prospective buyers.
The Victorian mansion is rumoured to be haunted, and Christian Cedieux, a crime and trauma scene cleaner, has spent enough time inside to determine for himself whether a ghoulish presence exists. He’s been working at the house ever since the elderly owner was found dead inside.
She died of natural causes, but Cedieux now considers himself a believer in the supernatural.
“I refuse to allow any of my employees to work by themselves,” he admits with a straight face.
“Everyone had to work in teams of two. From equipment turning off and on, to gloves levitating. I had a grown man 35 years of age who ran out of one particular room screaming and crying. He couldn’t take it.”
“There are things that cannot be explained, and I’ve seen it; my staff has seen it; we’ve experienced it; we’ve felt it; we’ve smelt it.”
“One of my employees was pushed by an invisible assailant. He ran down screaming and crying and was really spooked out.”
Four workers left and never came back.
The house is now clean and ready for sale, although Christian admits he wouldn’t spend a night there for $1,000.
“There are things that cannot be explained, and I’m here to tell you that they’re very for real.”
