is still several months away, but one North Carolina thrift store has temporarily turned into a little shop of horrors. Habitat for Humanity's Rowan County ReStore — a shop that sells used furniture to benefit the home-building charity — in Salisbury recently placed a sign on a set of furniture, warning customers that taking home select pieces may come at a higher price than they expected.
A highboy chest of drawers and queen-size canopy bed, specifically, carried a large note on them warning that the original owner got rid of them because he and his wife were constantly plagued by nightmares while the pieces were in their home. It wasn't just the unending bout of bad dreams, though — their dogs could not stop barking at the heavy wood furniture.
Because it's a Christian nonprofit, the company felt compelled to warn any would-be buyers so they knew what they were potentially getting themselves into. The note didn't scare people away, though. The store's director of operations, Elizabeth Brady, told that two regular customers were interested in the two pieces and paid full price — $1,000— but the couple didn't actually believe that the pieces were haunted, either.
For those of you who believe in the supernatural, you're not alone. According to a , two out of every five respondents said they believe they've lived in a haunted house before.
