A few stories people tell about this place

1. A realtor was showing a house on Pikes Peak when she heard an unusual noise coming from the kitchen. ‘Who’s there?’ she called out, but got no reply. Since then, some visitors claim they’ve seen a shadowy figure peering through the window late at night.’ Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind her, ‘Don’t worry, ma’am—just me delivering the mail!’ Turns out it was just an old postman who’d been standing outside for ages, waiting to hand over the daily correspondence.

2. A new listing had just gone up on Pikes Peak, and the realtor was explaining its unique features to a potential buyer. ‘Did you know,’ she said, pointing out the window, ‘that every Tuesday night, exactly at midnight, the mailbox here sings “Happy Birthday” for no reason?’ The potential buyer looked skeptical but intrigued. Just then, from the mailbox came a faint, off-key melody of ‘Happy Birthday.’ The realtor smiled broadly. 'See?' she said. 'And it only happens when nobody’s around!'

3. A new listing had just gone up on Pikes Peak, and the realtor was showing it to a curious couple. Suddenly, they both stopped mid-step as something peculiar filled the air—a whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted through the open window. The couple turned around, following their noses, only to see an elderly lady standing in the kitchen next door, smiling warmly while stirring something in a pan. ‘Oh,’ she said, ‘I’m just making some cookies for my grandkids who are coming over later.’ The realtor laughed, shaking his head. ‘Welcome to our neighborhood—every house has its own little surprise!’

4. A new listing had just gone up on Pikes Peak, and the realtor was showing it to a curious couple. As they walked through the kitchen, the husband suddenly asked, ‘Do you think the ghost of the previous owner might be baking cookies?’ The realtor smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Oh, don’t worry, sir—this place has been vacant for months. But if anyone starts baking, I’ll make sure to bring you some!’
