For some reason I am howling with laughter at the 'haunted house' in this week's Sleepy Hollow.  Supposedly this house was overtaken by fearful Eldrich Forces in the eighteenth century, and nobody has spent more than a few days in it since, because it is inhabited by a Scary. ( I don't think this is a spoiler.  Or, only a tiddler, anyway.)

Here it is: http://www.entertainmentoutlook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Sleepy-Hollow-Sanctuary-02.jpg

It's so CLEAN!  Those bricks!  I could cheerfully eat a meal off those bricks! And that paint!  It GLOWS!

Clearly the Scary has spent most of its time since 1781 scrubbing like mad.  I wonder if I can get one to move in with me...?

Of course the whole series is riddled with anachronisms of all kinds, but (perhaps because I live in a place so damp that all surfaces turn green in weeks)  this one really spoke to me. :-D

They couldn't even find a house with some atmospheric moss on the roof? I can think of at least two houses in my neighborhood much more terrifying than that.

A THOUGHT. Maybe the reason that the scary creature is so scary is that it makes whoever enters the house into its cleaning slave for the duration of their stay! Whenever the roof is getting a bit battered, it somehow draws in the entirety of a roofing company.

And even after leaving, everyone who has stayed in the house feels a compulsive need to clean things.
