description: Pete Eason's been hit by the downturn in the economy just like everyone else so when he gets the word that some guy named Mike Clarke needs a day laborer to clear our a rural Missouri house he doesn't ask too many questions before he takes the job. But Pete quickly learns that there's something funny going on at this site. For one Pete's the only laborer Mike hired and from what Pete can see this place needs a bulldozer not a Dumpster. Mike doesn't so much as hand Pete a shovel either-he seems to be hinting that the place is haunted. Pete doesn't feel any goosebumps and he sure as hell doesn't see any ghosts. He's dying though to know what all the gashes in the walls are about.Mike can't see the gashes and he's frustrated that Pete can't see the ghost standing right beside him because the whole point of bringing Pete here was to release the trapped spirit in this place a spirit that by rights Pete should be able to see better than anyone. Maybe Mike thinks he's made a mistake. But before he can nudge Pete a little harder the front door disappears the walls begin to heave and the ghost which has always been nothing more than a shade is suddenly aggressive flesh and blood-and Mike doesn't think he's made a mistake anymore. He knows he has.
