To think this is just a joke (new house message)

[movingtoreading]

We just to a nee house (1930s) so not super old . I found this message behind the post box on the front door ! I think its a joke but husband is freaking out
boiler also broke so i don't know if thats the ghosts fault 🤣 previous owner and family lived here since the 1990s

You’d think. But there’s some real loons on here about the supernatural 😂

Maybe the house was used for filming a Scooby Doo episode and those 'pesky kids' wrote the message.

It's just a silly prank by a child or mischievous adult with poor spelling/ handwriting, but I'm sure the "smudge the whole house with sage and call the local exorcist" crew will be along soon.

And your DH is seriously lacking a grip.

Its children but they haven't done it correctly. They are obviously trying to 'scare' anyone looking through the letter box whether that is their brothers or sisters or the kids next door

It's the back flap - ie. if you open the front flap outside and peer through you'd see this. So it should have been written upside down at your angle.

so that a person peering through from outside would see it upright

Quite right, wouldn't want to indulge in a little light silliness as an adult, you might run the risk of some people not being amused, due to them only allowing themselves to find things funny that follow made up imaginary rules decreed by absolutely noone that ghost jokes are for children...

It’s a bit naff for an adult.

👏👏👏 brilliant

Also, if it’s not just a kids’ joke, your ghost needs to up its haunting game. Come on, ghostie - you don’t warn the people you’re trying to scare that you’re there! This is ghosting 101 stuff!

It’s usually ‘Call the local Catholic priest’, because they’re just waiting on your call, like Ghostbusters. Even if you’re not a Catholic, not a Christian, not anyone who believes in any kind of deity, you somehow think Catholic priests are effective at this kind of lark.

This is a great idea! I'm going to go and write similar things in some nooks and crannies of my house too!

It's obviously a joke by some children.

Well now the boiler is not working so clearly this ghost does not like my noisy kids 🤣 my husband does not like old houses i had to convince him for this one so …

Someone has written it when the letterbox was rattling in the wind. Clean off the writing/get a new letterbox/get a new door - depending how much you want to spend. You may be able to get the previous owners to pay for the boiler repair, how long have you owned the house?

Kids are creepier than adults imo.

I would be jumping out at him yelling boo frequently now though

You need to join in with the spirit of the joke 👻

And ghosts struggle to turn the pages of a dictionary...

Although I would find that message difficult to read without my spectrecles

Pretty logical conclusion when you couple it with the handwriting and it’s a very childish thing to do.

I was thinking 1930s houses aren't that old...

But its approaching 100 years now!

But for ghosts... Who you gonna call?

Kids.
Any adult of middle age would not be arsed to bend down / get on their knees to write on a letterbox.

If your husband is spooked out by that nuisance maybe you should get a new husband rather than a house. What a bloody idiot.

My handwriting is worse than that

Look at the writing and the spelling. So obviously the work of a child.

Maybe a dead child though? 👻😂

Any other usually sensible adults here now tempted to do the same? Mostly in defiance of the miserygutses (yes, I know! It's lighthearted 😝) on this thread?

@Delphiniumandlupins really ? We just move in on friday ! We claimed on our boiler cover and is fixed now thankfully
