Synopsis for "House for Sale"Edit
A real estate agent offers to spend the night at a house with a reputation for murder in order to show that it is safe for potential buyers. The caretaker offers to switch beds with the agent just in case the ghost does show up. Since the caretaker has lived there thirty years, he is not afraid to spend the night in the room with the bad reputation, but some fear would have saved his life, as the 'ghost' does indeed show up and murder him. When the real estate agent finds the body in the morning, he phones the police and laments to his boss that now the house will never sell. However, the last panel reveals that he is secretly glad the house will not sell as the reader learns the real estate agent is the murdering 'ghost' and he considers the house 'his'.
