Drac,
Naw...try doing what I do when any new neighbor moves in.
Go over and introduce yourself. Then ask if they have experienced any odd occurrence that has happened in their house, just like the last four neighbors who lived prior in the house had experienced. Then talk about the local town and yearly festivities it holds, to break the conversation up. Now, go back to the original topic and spin a tale about how the house had numerous prior owners. Mix it up with the good 50’s family, the biker family, the new age mystic family etc. Now talk about sports or something for a few minutes. Now break the conversation and return to topic. Spin a tale about how one evening about a decade ago, a man and his wife had moved in to the house and one day the neighborhood noticed the man hadn’t come out of the house. Now add, that the police arrived a few days after someone had phoned a suspicious smell from the house. Don’t go in to any detail, just say the neighborhood noticed the coroner arrive and take “something” out of the house. Then tell them that 3 days later the wife had abandoned the house. Now talk about how you like to do lawn or garden work, again breaking up the conversation. Again return and spin another tale about how another owner prior to them, kept coming over to your house and asking if you’ve noticed dishes and chairs moving on their own in your house. Then tell them that person moved out 3 weeks after buying the house. Now talk about how you like to go fishing, again breaking up the “house” conversation. Return to topic, and start a tale of how neighbors would phone in complaints about the screaming coming from their house when it was up for sale at one time….tell them the neighborhood was concerned that there was derelicts living in the house, but when the police investigated there was no one in the house.
Now, look at your watch and say: “Oh man, the coven is meeting in a half hour, I gotta go. Nice meeting you. And…welcome to the neighborhood.”
