I’m a hair farmer, so, obviously I live in a hair farm house. Once in a while a stray lock will spring up on the house, but I never depilate because that would kill the roots. I simply shave it and make it part of my hairy harvest.

I’d like to make it clear that hairy farm houses and hair farming in general isn’t creepy, well, except for the smell… from the sweat glands…

I read elsewhere someone suggesting this entry would make good flavor for adventurers in the Carrion Crown AP. Sounds reasonable to me. ^^

I second more journal entries as we follow Herr Geist in his quest. Each more and more harrowing, until, perhaps Herr Geist finally goes off the deep end and becomes his own haunt?

@GJ: Good point, were it not that the farmhouse was constructed from hairy oaks. The tiny hairs that cover the oak are poisonous, so most oaks are shaved clean before they are used in construction.

Hairy Oak Spores
Type poison, inhaled; Save Fortitude DC 10
Frequency 1/minute for 4 minutes
Effect 1d2 Con damage; Cure 1 save

@James: Ahw, I was sure this was going to get more than 3 pings. The other journal entries would push this beyond PG 13

I like the flavor in this one a great deal. This must be why we beware the ides of March. ^_^

A hairless farmhouse is somewhat horrifying. If only because it would be surrounded by hairy farmhouses.

In the description of the abandoned farmhouse the word should be dilapidated not depilated. Unless it is on of those hairless farmhouses, in which case I apologise.

Creepy Maurice. I really like the story and this looks like another first class haunt. *switches on Pett-o-meter* [PING!][PING!][PING!] a ’3′ on the Pett Scale. Now, if we feed in details from Journal Entries 10-13… [PING!][PING!] that’s ’5′! I would shudder to read them myself. Readers would need to view the ‘director’s cut’ of this article for details. Well done again!
