When I first moved into town, I quickly learned that the locals loved to gossip.
- One of the exciting gossip topics was the haunted house in the city.
The locals said that a wife murdered her husband in that house. They thought that the husband’s soul was still roaming the house. The couple had just bought the house a few months before the incident. A writer rented the place. The irony of the whole incident was that the writer wrote mystery novels. He had just completed a bestseller about a wife murdering her husband. According to the locals, he moved to the house because he thought he would be more inspired and creative. The new tenant called the air conditioning company I worked for and requested an air conditioning technician to advise him on the best HVAC system for the house. After consulting with the cooling expert, the writer chose an electric heat pump. He ordered the equipment from a commercial air conditioning factory. The writer also included an AC filter and a digital thermostat. When the unit arrived, it took only a day for the writer to call the air conditioning professional to set the installation date. It would have been a simple process, but part of the ductwork had to go and a new one was put in its place. A week later, the a/c setup was complete. The indoor comfort was impeccable with a HEPA filter to manage air quality, ghosts or not. All he had to do now was follow up with quality AC service. By the end of the entire process, the techs did not encounter any strange happenings.
