Challenge Phrase
Remodeling an Oldass House
 
After she receives the notice that her father has died, Aylen must return to her childhood home. She finds the place just as she remembered it. Although no people live there, that doesn't mean it isn't occupied...Aylen must go from room to room, remodeling each section while dispelling the spirits that haunt the Oldass house!
 
Michael Trinay and his girlfriend are looking to move in together. Looking at houses, they find an extremely old manor-style house at a low, low price. Sure, it's a fixer-upper...but thankfully, they both enjoy renovations! This isn't your run-of the-mill property, it turns out...as they soon find that every closet leads to a different world.
 
The agency had tried everything to sell the old Groomsdale house, the old one on top of the hill. Eventually the estate agent hired a team to remodel it but the extra-planar resident doesn't care for the smell of paint or that team moving around its home...
 
It was supposed to be a simple job to remodel the old house on Haunted Lane. He didn't believe the rumors that there were ghosts or other worlds, it was just another job. Of course, once he started to remodel, he finds the darker truth of the house. The house has never been repaired because it doesn't need it. It is perfect inside... and it doesn't want you to leave ever again. Watch as one man battles to get his freedom,

How had she let her mother talk her into this? The oldest house in the state she had to believe, and remodel it in front of cameras for all the world to see. She groaned as the make-up and lighting people were working on her and over her. Her mom, was in her glory and loving every second of it.

They opened the door and stepped inside. It was far worse than she'd anticipated. there were treads missing in the staircase and floorboards were visibly sagging. They walked the camera men through the house and her mom was talking a mile a minute about this and that, and what they were going to do. But they went down into the basement and could not believe their eyes.

What was in the basement? what happens next?

A team of remodelers tries to renovate a house only to find that its wooden frame is so rotted that it would be practically impossible to do it without completely rebuilding. As they exit the house to talk to their superiors, they're transported to another realm where everything is rotten and falling apart- and going inside doesn't fix anything.

"It's haunted."

"Julianne, for the last frigging time, it is not haunted. Old houses settle."

"Do old houses typically moan? Do they turn the water on by themselves? Do they fling cabinets open?"

"Your imagination. The plumbing's wonky. And there's a bad draft."

"I can't believe you! You really wanna remodel this piece of extremely haunted territory! You think this is worth it!"

"We bought the house for 10,000 dollars honey. I am gonna live here if Baphomet himself is downstairs knocking around, okay?"

"Oh, and with your luck, it would be. Along with Mephistopheles, and Lucifer, and Old Scratch, and--"

"Babe, those are all the same guy."

"You know what I mean! The place is haunted! Haun. Ted."
