Haunted house stories - just the name makes me shiver. The house itself directly acts against its victims. Well, I am happy that my house is a nice peaceful fellow who wouldn't hurt a fly :)

Great analysis of those stories! However if I would read them, I think I would never get my beauty sleep anymore :)

I would like to hope that 'there is only so much you can do with a swimming pool' would be referring to swimming only :D
