After-Hours Haunting

# Pick the strength that suits your street.

Break-ins are rarely loud and rarely random. They pick the quiet street, the dark lot, the door nobody checks. Choose how firmly the building answers: a draft at neck height, footsteps and flickering lights, or the full poltergeist.

On duty

After-Hours Haunting

## Pick the strength your building needs.

Not every night has to be loud. I recommend the lightest haunting that does the job, and we turn it up if the street changes.

Level 1

### Whisper

The quiet deterrent. A draft at neck height, a door that closes itself, something that almost clears its throat.

- Subtle, deniable, very effective
- Zero disruption to neighbors

**Best for:** Quiet streets and low-risk buildings

1 soul per year

Level 2

### Wail

Unexplained footsteps and flickering lights, always from the room you just checked. Nobody stays to find out why.

- Footsteps nobody can account for
- Lighting with opinions

**Best for:** Busier blocks and buildings with real inventory

2 souls per year (or 1 soul and a lobby TV, valued at 1 soul)

Level 3

### Full Poltergeist

Chains, slamming doors, and office supplies that rise slowly off the desk. When the stapler floats, people leave.

- Maximum deterrence
- Built for sites that have already had an incident

**Best for:** High-risk locations that need a decisive answer

3 souls per year

Every plan includes a Certified Haunted Decal for your window and a plain written report every morning.

What customers say

## From a motel, a wine bar, and an office tower

Three strengths, three kinds of night, and the same plain report each morning.

Customer

> Vending machine thieves used to be a monthly event. Then a new tenant moved into Room 12. I leave a sock outside. It is always gone in the morning. So are they.

P **Priscilla Voss**Night Clerk, Vista Motor Lodge

Customer

> Three years of wine cellar break-ins ended in one night. I am told someone built a wall. I did not authorize a wall. I am keeping the bricks.

W **Wendell Achterberg**Owner, Casa Fortunato

Customer

> Our old alerts were sirens. Now my phone rings once, politely, and tells me what is wrong and where. We saved the carpet.

R **Rosalind Ahn**Facilities Manager, Harmon Plaza

From the team

> I designed the volume settings. The Proprietor asked only that none of them be called screaming.

Schedule of charges

## What it costs to be haunted

One Whisper, per annum**1 soul**

A draft at neck height. For quiet streets.

One Wail, per annum**2 souls**

Or 1 soul and a lobby TV, which we value at 1 soul. Footsteps and flickering lights.

One Full Poltergeist**3 souls**

Chains, slamming doors, levitating staplers.

Small-premises specialist, per site**2 souls**

Or 1 soul plus one favor each quarter. One ghost who learns every door.

Wide-area specialist, per area**1 soul**

Or one favor each quarter. An area is a department, lot, dock, floor, or orchard block.

Extra Certified Haunted Decal**1 doubloon**

The first decal is free with every plan.

Morning Report**Included**

1 soul = 12 doubloons = 4 favors. A favor is a small kindness, delivered once a quarter. Dollars accepted, reluctantly, at whatever rate Ezekiel quotes in writing.

Empty-Handed Guarantee✦

If an intruder fails to run off empty-handed and frightened, the way they always do in haunted houses, the night shall be forgiven. Claims within 30 days.
