goo.gl/maps/K5gVDThis large creepy house lurked on a hill covered in tall grass, not far from the shore of Lake Washington.

Jacob- "Be very careful." Jacob and Takuji came into the living room of the old house, sun through the curtains painting it somewhat orange. It had a dusk feel, even now in the morning. There was a hint of a scent of death in the air here, and some disarray in the furniture.

Jacob noticed that Takuji seemed especially fearful as they walked through the dark house. He could hear the kid's breathing, plainly. Jacob- "You look like you're getting ready to panic. Can you calm down?"
Takuji- "Mm, yeah... sorry..." They crept carefully through the house. A weird creaking and whistling noise seemed a little too loud to just be from the wind.
As they came into the next room, they saw it. The chairs were all balanced on one leg each, gently swaying and twirling in place, as if blown by an impossible wind. The scent of ghost cut through the air of death, but both were still rather faint. Takuji- "Uh...!"
He took a quick step back, but stayed in place for the moment, eyes wide. Jacob- "TSST. Listen. This could be something totally harmless. And if it isn't, we should destroy it before it has a chance to hurt anyone else. Hm..." He looked around the room, high and low, before seeing the trouble.
A softly glowing, elderly man hung from the roof as if by an invisible rope, his neck bent. His legs swayed in time with the chairs, and he looked at them sadly. " .... " Like this but less dark, more glowy. We totes need mute ghost graphics.
Takuji- "I-- I don't--" He backed up a bit more, gripping the cleaver, keeping his eyes on the spinning chair. He didn't seem to know what to do with ghosts. Jacob whistled to get his attention and made a "calm down" gesture. Jacob- "It's a quiet ghost. They don't hurt people. Just... Let's go around, OK? Use the stairs." He started to walk through the room, carefully staying close to the wall. All the spinning objects were fairly centralized, leaving a wide enough path along the wall for people to reach the stairs.

Takuji- "I don't see anything like this before.... This seems bad."
Jacob- "Of course it's bad. But it's not an omen or anything. It's just a sad old ghost... I think we should go upstairs first." Jacob led the scared man up the stairs. The sound of ghostly action died down, but the scent of death increased. They came out into a hall with a few lazy flies lazily buzzing through shafts of daylit dust. Jacob looked back at Takuji. Jacob- "We should see if there's any monsters up here and destroy them. You can stand in the hall and I'll get them. Just watch the back way, OK?"
Takuji- "Mm-- Okay."
He shifted nervously on his feet, pulling his jacket sleeve over nose with one hand and holding the cleaver with the other.
They went room to room, not bothering to scavenge, being too expectant of zombies to take the time. Takuji stood in doorways nervously while Jacob swiftly moved through each room, looking in every possible hiding spot, hunting for trouble.
At last they found the room where the man had actually hanged himself. A high, sunny room with an arched ceiling. An exposed beam. A dangling electrical cord, a little bit of rot left in the noose.
But the ruined corpse on the floor looked far worse than the result of mere decay. It had been hacked up very badly. It made sense, if the man had become a zombie and somehow gotten loose, that someone would destroy his remains. But it still seemed like the work of a psychotic. The corpse was dry and grey dust-covered blood and gore streaked all over the room. A few odd maggots writhed. Dead flies lay on every surface. a few dozen living flies again accessorized the crepuscular rays coming through the windows. Jacob- "Maybe there's a kitchen all the way downstairs. There's nothing for us up here."
Takuji- "Yeah--ulgk--"
He audibly swallowed back vomit, and kept his sleeve hand covering his face, fleeing from the room a bit quicker than was necessary.

As Takuji reached the hall he heard Jacob hiss for his attention again. Jacob- "TSST. Hey, slow down. You want me to go down ahead of you or not?"
Takuji- "M-okay."
He let Jacob pass in front of him. Takuji- "D-do we really want to eat something from here?"
Jacob- "Good point. It'll be 50% grain and 50% sorrow. We'll just--" Jacob froze in his tracks. They couldn't get down to the first floor without first getting past the shambling atrocity coming up the steps. Monster Motherfucker- "WelCOME to my HOUSE.... HOW did you like the decorations in the ATTIC, LITTLE PIGGIES? WuaRRRGGG HAAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
Takuji- "....!!!"
Takuji fumbled through his bag with shaky hands for unknown reasons.

Takuji backed up, finding in his bag what he was seeking-- a fist sized rock. He threw at the creature with as much strength as his shaking arms could muster. The rock bounced off its head with a disgusting crunch, but the creature didn't even slow down, as it came after Jacob with its hammer. Monster Motherfucker- "NIIIICE! Decorate this flesh WITH HATRED! RAAAAggh ree hee heeee..."
Jacob- "Oh no you don't!" He stepped backward clumsily for a moment, dodging the first clumsy hammer swing, then opened his umbrella and leapt forward. The monster managed to smash a spoke and rip the cloth, but not much else before it fell backward down the stairs.
Jacob managed to hold onto the umbrella, but tumbled forward end over end, coming up with no small amount of pain, and regaining his footing. Ahead of them, the monster bounced down the stairs with limbs flailing and crunching, laughing all the way.
Takuji followed down the stairs after Jacob's tumble, slipping down a couple steps due to wobbly legs, but kept on his feet. Takuji- "Let's go!" They got as far as the first floor landing and Takuji was surprised by a chair flying into view. It hadn't been an attack, but the young man wasn't yet used to flying furnishings.
Then he noticed Jacob was continuing down the stairs after the monster. Over the little man's head, he could see it had come to a stop and was trying to drag its broken body upright. Takuji- "No, no! Come on! Run away!"
Jacob- He glanced back up for a only a moment. "You have to destroy the monsters, before they can hurt other people!"
Monster Motherfucker- "WUAAAARRGGG! COME GET SOME! HahahahaHAHA ree heee...."
Takuji- "No it-- can't--!! Uh! Sorry! S-sorry!!"
The young man turned to flee and almost ran fast first into a floating chair. He threw himself against the wall and ran through the gauntlet of the ghost room and toward the door to freedom.
He heard a distant cry.Jacob's voice- "GOOD BYE, YAKUJI!"

The house continued to make its haunted noises in the warm summer air. It loomed in tall grass. It remained a place of the dead.
