It was definitely interesting, but words like Investors, and business partners always make me narrow my eyes.

Ghosts who don’t pay rent will be exorcised. Rent consists of making suitably spooky apperances for the tourists. No place for shy ghosts.

So how many months rent on a crappy apartment with extra payments for parking is this? And when will the GB fiber to the town be completed?

I’ve seen ghosts in exactly these sort of towns in the past - I know the drill.

Wait to the final unmasking - it won’t be a ghost; it’ll be Old Man McKillop who runs the failing theme park in the next town.

Edited for spelling.

Will their houses be repossessed?

Sorry, I’ll get my coat.

Town?

Looks more like an old quarry with a few buildings spread about…

I guarantee you that there is no water available, so reviving this town is going to be VERY expensive…
