A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet hours before dawn, when most houses in Quantrill’s neighborhood were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up outside the estate agency. The streetlights cast eerie shadows on the old sign above the door. As he stepped out of his truck, he heard a soft rustle from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw… Inside, a dusty old clock ticked softly, and an empty coffee cup sat on the counter. Suddenly, a voice said, 'Morning, delivery guy!' Startled, the man turned around to see an elderly gentleman with a twinkle in his eye. ‘I’ve been waiting for you,’ he added with a smile. Turns out, Quantrill had just retired and was now working part-time as a ghostly receptionist.'

2. At closing time one night, an estate agent locked up Quantrill's office and left. But as he walked down the street, he heard a voice from inside: 'Wait! Did you remember to turn off the coffee machine?' The agent paused, turned around, but nobody was there. He shrugged and continued home, only to hear the same voice again moments later: ‘And don’t forget to lock the door!’ By now amused rather than alarmed, he went back, found everything fine—and never forgot to wave goodbye to an empty office ever again.

3. In the dim light of early morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Quantrill's office. The dog next door began barking furiously, its tail wagging wildly despite the hour. Curious, the driver peered inside through the window—only to see Quantrill standing motionless behind his desk, his eyes fixed on something invisible. The delivery driver waved and called out, ‘Morning, Mr. Quantrill!’ But there was no response. Just as he turned away, Quantrill’s head slowly tilted towards him, his mouth forming an odd smile. Startled, the driver quickly drove off, but not before catching a glimpse of a sign on the wall reading: “Property for sale: one haunted estate agent included.”

4. At closing time one night, an estate agent locked up Quantrill's office and left. But as he walked down the empty street, a voice called out from behind him: 'Hey, you forgot your keys!' The agent turned around, rubbing his head. ‘Great,’ he muttered. A delivery driver passing by laughed and said, ‘Better check that again before you lock yourself out for good!’
