One of my favorite hobbies is perusing through daily listings of real estate.  I love looking at houses that I can’t afford, imagining which could be my forever home.  But when I came upon this property listing photo of a house in the upscale neighborhood of La Cañada, a number of questions came to mind:

Are these wisps of smoke coming from a chain smoker’s cigarette or a ghostly apparition?  If they were from a cigarette, why would the realtor be smoking in someone else’s house and be taking photos at the same time?  Is this realtor insane?  Why would he even post this photo as part of the listing?  (This is the only photo in the bunch where the wisps appear.) Are realtors required to disclose the existence of ghouls and hauntings?

The listing has been on the market for four months now and has dropped $75,000 off an already low price.  But, it looks like an offer has actually been made on the house.  I hope the new owners enjoy their ghost!
