“I think it’s the fifth…”
“We’d better move out! This alley is unlivable! Just last night, my wife dreamed of a female ghost in red standing by the window, combing her hair!”
A man, pale-faced, finished speaking and pulled the person beside him to leave.
A few of the braver ones still pressed against the door crack, peering inside.
