| The historic Manresa Castle in Port Townsend will be sold at auction tomorrow, offering 43 bathrooms, a 60-seat dining room, four separate heating systems, 112 years of rich history — and perhaps two ghosts. "The ghosts are no extra charge," said Lena Humber, the inn's owner. The ghost stories were good for business during her 15 years of ownership of Port Townsend's most distinguished landmark. She said she decided to sell Manresa after her husband's death two years ago, and opted for an auction to expedite the sale of the 40-room hotel. Legend has it that a woman named Kate leaped to her death from Room 302 after being jilted by her fiancé, and that a Jesuit priest allegedly hung himself in Room 306 |
I bet the Ghosts were good for business... 
*takes cynical hat off* Looks like a nice place, where do I sign?

Really gorgeous place if only i had those extra dollars then i would buy it no problems and make my money back renting out the rooms 
I wouild love to buy it and charge people to see it like a tourist attractment. That would be the only reason I would but it. I would raher live on the streets than live with ghosts. 
Oooh,I want.Oh,Im about $1.9 short.oh well. 
Get a huge loan! 
Maybe if all chipped in we could make a bid. 
I am sorry, but I couldn't live in a place with any less than 44 bathrooms. 43 just wouldn't work for me...
I guess I will have to keep looking.
It is a beautiful place though. I guess I could put a couple porta-potties in the garden just in case all 45 of my best friends had to go to the bathroom at the same time...
I will call my agent and put in a bid...

An official residence for U.M. It sounds like the kind of place Dr Wiseman would like.
Dr. Wiseman? 
The man with the ill-fitting name who wanted a haunted house for experimenting in.
LOL @ Agent 21
Dr.Wiseman, an award winning magician in his younger years, then did a psychology degree, wrote a book on magic and is now trying to become famous by trying to disprove the paranormal but not doing a very good job and looking a little bit of a shmuck.
