<B>The mortician's dead and breakfast near Sacramento</B><BR><BR>
When the last owner was in the process of turning his historic 1911 house into a Dead and Breakfast, he and his wife had first-hand experience with its resident gang of ghosties. When their invisible residents first extinguished the roaring fire in the fireplace, turned off the Internet connection and slammed shut the French doors next to him, there was no question in his mind that he was dealing with the paranormal. But instead of freaking out, he gave them a little speech and insisted that they restart the fire, give him back his Internet access, and for Heaven’s sake, open those doors and put the door stops back like they were! Turns out he wasn’t just blowing hot air, it worked! They did as they were commanded! He figured out that they were probably hanging out in the old mortuary - the remnants of which were still on the first floor. <br><br>

The house is now back on the market for $100,000 - a far cry from its original listing price of $900,000 a few years ago. <br><br>
