Double 2007 dome home in Ocala, Florida looks like 2 boobs. The exterior was completely redone in 2020, including a liquid rubber roof, (interesting), and the interior is in great shape. (A lot of these dome homes need a lot of work.) 2bds, 2ba, $449K - or, the owner will rent it to you for a yr., so you can decide if you want to live in a dome.

I'm thinking that this is the living room area, but the realtor has photoshopped in tables and chairs. It's nice inside, I like the floor and there doesn't appear to be a problem with the inner walls and ceilings.

There's a long galley-ish kitchen that looks new.

This bathroom is huge.

It has a large sitting area.

Beautiful double shower.

Sink vanity with lots of storage.

The swinging doors look like dressing rooms.

Here's the realtor decorating the primary bedroom with photoshop.

And, here's the realtor showing how high the ceiling is with photoshop.

A closet with a dressing room & what looks like a makeup table in the corner.

Bedroom #2.

And, bath #2.

Nice laundry room.

The realtor has this area set up with seating.

Not sure what this is. Maybe the back entrance from the garage?

Looks like a sort of "basement" area or rec room off the garage.

El día de la verdad

En mi vida llegué a experimentar un momento donde profesionalmente me sentía estancado. Me sentía que perdía mi tiempo. No había lugar a donde ir, uno queriendo crecer y crecer. Un día, luego de dialogar con mi esposa, comencé a buscar opciones de trabajo fuera de Puerto Rico. Esto fue alrededor de 6 años atrás. Sabía que no era algo fácil, que encontraría resistencia y mucha des motivación en gente querida y personas que están cercanas a mí.

Entre el año 2015 al día de hoy, creo, envié sobre 100 solicitudes de trabajo. Hablé con amigos que viven fuera de Puerto Rico para que me ayudaran a conseguir un buen trabajo para hacer el movimiento. De toda esa gestión que hice, solo obtuve 2 entrevistas de trabajo. La primera fue en USPS en Naples, Florida y la otra en USPS de Santa Ana, California.

La primera oportunidad fui yo quien decidió no tomarla. Pues era a tiempo parcial y no era buena opción en ese momento al tener dos menores que mantener y cuidar. Necesitaba garantizarles un buen futuro y un buen ambiente en este cambio. Con todo y que me dieron tiempo para analizar la oportunidad, tuve que negarla. Luego, alrededor de 2 meses después, conocí personas que trabajan para la agencia y me explicaron tantas cosas que en un momento me arrepentí bien brutal de no tomar la oportunidad cuando surgió. Pero todo es perfecto y es en el momento que tiene que ser. Así que seguí en mi búsqueda.

Tres años después, estuve de vacaciones en verano en Orange County, California y me encantó. Estando allí me puse a buscar oportunidades en mi celular y a aplicar a distintos trabajos, incluyendo USPS. Estuvimos alrededor de una semana en California y regresamos a Puerto Rico. Una semana después recibo un correo electrónico donde me indican que soy candidato al puesto y que tenia que ir a entrevista en California. Vendí mi juguete favorito para poder ir a la entrevista, mi "drone". Fui allá, todo corrió bastante similar a la entrevista de Naples pero desde que me tocó sentarme con el "entrevistador" ya sentía que la oportunidad no era para mí. Y así fue. La frustración me atacó a tal manera que por distraído le rompí con una acera la goma de la guagua que me había prestado mi cuñado. Menos mal solo fue eso. Regresé a Puerto Rico y continué en mi tóxico trabajo en el gobierno.

En octubre del mismo año, recibo un correo electrónico donde se establecía una ventana de retiro, que realmente era una renuncia voluntaria e incentivada. Lo pensé, lo hablé con mi esposa y familia. El último día para someter todo, media hora antes de que venciera el plazo, llené los documentos y los envié pensando que esto no lo aprobarían por la necesidad de cubrir el puesto que hacía. Quince días después me llama el compañero que por nivel de jerarquía va por encima de mí y me pregunta que si era verdad que me iba. Le indico que si a lo que me dice que los jefes grandes no lo van a aprobar hasta que YO consiga a alguien que me sustituya. Obviamente le reclamé esto, ya que eso es trabajo de Recursos Humanos, no mío. Mientras hablaba con el, por el teléfono de la agencia entra una llamada de Recursos Humanos indicando que estaban aprobando el "retiro". Así que le dije al compañero, te llamo luego y continué la llamada con RH para aclarar todos los detalles. Llega el 30 de noviembre de 2018 y así como la nada, como el primer día de trabajo, Roberto recogió sus cosas sin vítores ni aplausos, como suele suceder cuando nadie está "cool" con tu decisión. Que dicho sea de paso, fue la mejor que tomé.

Estuve sin trabajar el mes de diciembre de 2018 completo y en enero de 2019 comienzo a lavar carros. Algo que siempre quería hacer y dedicarme a ello. Me iba muy bien, hasta que se me ocurre la grandiosa idea de aplicar a AutoZone y en febrero me llaman para comenzar a trabajar. A principio lo vi como un complemento a lo que estaba haciendo, pero la verdad es que me restó tiempo en cantidad, aunque solo trabajaba en las mañanas. No me puedo quejar del trato que obtuve en AutoZone. Si me puedo quejar de que haciendo todo por el libro, dando la milla extra, nunca se me ofrecieron oportunidades teniendo experiencia y estudios. Si pude ver como compañeros en mi tienda y en otras subían de puesto y se le ofrecían oportunidades sin tener experiencia ni estudios. Solo ser más jóvenes y poderlos manipular con el mísero sueldo que la compañía paga en la isla. Pero como todo, al que le dieron la oportunidad que la aproveche. Uno nunca sabe que pueda pasar, más cuando se es joven. Ya eso no era para mí y en diciembre de 2020 decidí renunciar. Hubo un momento que pensé me llamarían para atrás, pero nunca fue así. Obviamente, pueden subsistir sin mí. Pasa con todos.

Como mi esposa tiene negocio decidimos dedicarle tiempo completo al mismo. Sin excusas, aunque ya estábamos en pandemia y la misma nos había costado mucho para sobre salir en el mercado. Tuvimos muchas altas y bajas, pero la verdad que, adicional a la pandemia, las clases virtuales de los niños nos restaban muchísimo tiempo y poco a poco todo bajo y bajo hasta tener semanas donde no se vendía nada.

Un día, en un post en Facebook, varias amistades publicaron que solicitaron en USPS. Yo dije, "diache, hace tiempo que ni miro para allá". Entro, veo que en Puerto Rico no hay exámenes, lleno la solicitud como quiera. Una semana después entro a ver si hay exámenes y nada, pero decido llenar para Ocala, Fl y Dallas/Fort Worth, Tx. Quien sabe que puede pasar. Para mi sorpresa, 7-10 días después me escriben que estoy en línea para Dallas/Fort Worth. Mil sentimientos, hablé con mi esposa. Hablé con un pana que ya estaba en proceso a irse para "training" en Sarasota, Fl y acepté. Empecé a buscar información del área, pues a lo único que yo he ido a Texas es a las paradas de vuelos, nunca había salido del aeropuerto. Así que tenia que preguntar, leer, hable con mi mejor amiga sobre el área, ella me aconsejo y se ofreció junto con su esposa a ayudarme. Cuando de momento, llega otro correo electronico de USPS diciendo lo mismo sobre Ocala, Fl. Pensé en mil cosas. Florida es mucho más cerca para la familia viajar de Puerto Rico (menos tiempo en un avión), entiendo los pasajes son más baratos y, pensando en nosotros, hemos visitado Florida en varias ocasiones. Así que entiendo es mucho más fácil la transición. Acepté, automaticamente se cancela la de Texas y se comienza con el proceso en Ocala, Fl.

Como a los 7 días me programan el sacar las huellas y entrevista en Ocala, Fl. Fui, todo fluyó de show, pero me indicaron que debía estar ya en Ocala en 2 a 3 semanas radicado. Pregunté si era seguro el trabajo para hacer el moviemiento y la persona me dijo que todo ya recaía en el resultado de las huellas y el "background check". Ella como quiera me dijo que se comunicaría conmigo. Como yo sabía que con eso no habría problemas, comenzamos a hacer movimientos en PR para vender cosas, recolectar dinero y dejar todo al día para cuando llegue el aviso que debo estar allá radicado. Dos semanas después, me llama la de Recursos Humanos para decirme que el 17 de julio debía estar ya en Ocala. Ahí todo comenzó a tornarse real. Ya el cambio estaba ahí. Era lo que buscaba. Se dió la oportunidad. Pero ¿donde ibamos a vivir? ¿Me tengo que ir primero y luego la familia? Pues sí, son cosas que no sabíamos aún.

Para nuestra suerte mi esposa tiene amistades en Ocala y una de esas personas es "realtor" allí mismo. El nos consiguió donde vivir, nos guió en todo este proceso a la velocidad que necesitábamos. Nos orientó con muchas otras cosas que no sabíamos, pues el también es un boricua en Ocala, Fl.

El 16 de julio de 2021, me mudé a la Gran Nación. Al municipio #79 de Puerto Rico. Me mudé a Florida, USA. Aquí comenzaré junto con mi familia una nueva etapa. Trabajaremos arduamente, encaminaremos a nuestros hijos y le daremos mejor calidad de vida. Con orgullo, con pasión y con la frente en alto, porque es lo correcto para nosotros. Extrañaremos a nuestra familia, como locos y ellos a nosotros, pero las puertas siempre estarán abiertas para ellos. La distancia es mayor, pero estamos a ley de 2.5 horas de vuelo para vernos. No hay excusas para no vernos.

Esta foto a continuación, representa el nuevo camino a recorrer. Enjoy!

Ghostly warning: Dead gangster Ma Barker doesn’t want her house moved

He called the newsroom with a warning: They can’t move that house.

“I’m worried something terrible is going to happen,” the man said in a thick New York accent. “I have to warn somebody.”

Then he told me a ghost story.

His name is Donald J. Weiss. He’s a 62-year-old retired police patrolman from upstate New York. He had moved to Ocala several years ago and visited the house where gangster Ma Barker had been killed. He had wanted to see the site of the longest shootout in FBI history: four hours, more than 2,000 bullets.

But when he wandered beneath the live oaks, a voice growled, “Get outta here, lawman!”

And when he took a photo of the front porch, a shadowy figure appeared.

“That woman is still in that house,” he told me. “And she’s pissed.”

He gave the photo to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office because he wanted to enter it into evidence. And because bad things started happening as soon as he had blown up the print. “I had a heart attack,” he said. “You think that’s a coincidence?”

The property has been sold, he told me. County officials want to move the house.

“They have no idea who or what is in there,” Weiss said. “That woman has the power to do a lot of things. We are dealing with the afterworld here.”

I thanked the caller for his concern.

“When are they moving it?” I asked.

He paused, as if to make a point, then said gravely, “By Halloween.”

Reporters get a lot of crazy calls. Many might have dismissed this one. But I knew this house, and so did my photographer friend John Pendygraft.

“Hey John,” I called across the cubicle wall. “Do you remember that story we did on the Ma Barker house?”

John’s eyes got big. “Do you remember what happened?”

Our story four years ago had been about real estate: historic home for sale on nine waterfront acres, eight miles north of the Villages, two hours from Tampa. And about the gangsters who hid out there until the end.

We had toured the four-bedroom house with a Realtor, whose assistant shivered and said, “I get the weirdest feeling when I’m in here.” We had reported rumors about flickering lights and an unsuccessful exorcism.

But we hadn’t written about what had happened to John. Or what he saw when he enlarged one of his pictures.

John has worked in war zones in Afghanistan and the Gaza Strip. He has photographed the dead from an Asian tsunami, a Mexican assassination and Hurricane Katrina. If he ever is scared, he won’t show it.

That fall day in 2012, in the Ma Barker house, he had gone alone into the front bedroom to take pictures through the window, looking out toward the lake where the FBI agents had crouched behind trees.

All of a sudden, John rushed out, cameras, lights, tripod flapping over his shoulders, nearly sliding down the 13 stairs. “I don’t know what happened, or what that was,” he panted. He heard the mattress fall, then saw it, dangling through the bed frame. “I didn’t touch it,” he insisted.

We left that afternoon, as dusk began to descend. From beneath the Spanish moss, John shot a few final frames. The next day, when he zoomed in on his laptop, he saw a strange figure on the screened porch: The silhouette of a stout woman with a bun, who looked like she was holding a machine gun.

Her story starts in Missouri, in 1873. Her parents named her Arizona Donnie Clark. She and a farmhand, George Barker, had four sons. As soon as the boys were grown, her husband left.

Legends vary about Ma Barker’s role in her boys’ gang. Some say she just cooked and cleaned. Others say she was the mastermind.

They began by robbing banks, then murdered a policeman. From 1910 through 1930, they are said to have stolen $2 million. And killed at least 10 people.

The FBI’s first director, J. Edgar Hoover, called them “the worst criminals in the entire country.” Ma Barker became the only woman to top the most wanted list.

In 1934, the gang split and went into hiding. One son fled to Chicago. Ma and her favorite son, baby Freddie, moved to Miami where, posing as a wealthy widow, she asked if anyone knew a secluded spot where she could spend the winter.

Someone introduced her to Carson Bradford, whose family had a lovely home in the center of Florida, on Lake Weir.

The house sounded perfect: fully furnished, set back from the road, with a boat tethered to a dock out back. Ma paid the full season’s rent in cash. Just before Thanksgiving, she moved in with Freddie and a couple of his friends.

In a letter to her son Arthur in Chicago, she drew a map of the lake and circled the closest town, Ocala. She mailed it from Ocklawaha’s little post office.

FBI agents found Arthur the following January, and with him, the letter, which led them to Ma’s hideout.

In the predawn darkness on Jan. 16, 1935, a dozen officers pointed their guns at the upstairs windows. “This is the FBI,” an officer shouted, according to an agency report. “You are surrounded.”

Some say the gun battle lasted as long as six hours.

When it was over, they found Freddie, 32, shot in the back of his head. Ma, 63, was curled on the floor, cradling her Tommy gun. That day, Hoover said, marked “the end of an era of violence.”

For nine months, the corpses lay unclaimed. Finally, a relative moved them closer to home.

But some say Ma still inhabits that two-story, cream-colored house with forest green shutters. The cop on the phone, my friend the photographer, the former and current owner all saw, heard or felt … something.

But how do you report a ghost story?

I started with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and that “evidence” photo the retired cop mentioned on the phone.

Lt. Dave Redmond remembered some man bringing in the photo, but the deputy hadn’t seen anything in it.

Records only go back to 1990, said department spokeswoman Lauren Lettelier. “But since then, there have been no reports of hauntings at that house.”

I talked to Carson Good, 47, the great-grandson of the man who built the house. He has memories of swimming and sailing in the lake. And of countless sleepless nights, cringing in the dark. “I’m not a big believer of ghosts, but I heard a lot of sounds in that house,” he said. “Voices. Furniture moving. People walking up and down the wooden stairs.”

His grandmother didn’t like to talk about it, but she often heard spirits stirring. Years ago, he said, a psychic from Cassadaga held a seance at the house and convinced the ghost of Freddie Barker to move on. But the medium said Ma refused to move.

Good and his family sold the property for $750,000 and donated the house to the county, which hired a contractor to lift the home off its foundation and float it across Lake Weir to a park called Carney Island. County commissioners allocated $270,000 for the move. Private donations and fundraising will finance the museum.

County tax collector George Albright, who grew up next to the storied house, envisions an homage to the early days of the FBI, as agents set out to capture notorious gangsters like “Baby Face” Nelson, “Pretty Boy” Floyd, Bonnie and Clyde and, of course, the infamous Barker gang.

“We’ve already had calls from people asking about ghost tours. If they want something like that, or to hold seances, we’ll look into that,” said the tax collector, “as a revenue source.”

Some say the gang buried Mason jars filled with cash along the lake. Local children used to spend summers digging for the treasure, but came up with shovels full of sand.

As soon as the home is removed, before the new owner closes on the land, the tax collector plans to bring in a team with ground-penetrating radar to scan the soil.

“Let’s hope she’s a friendly ghost,” he said.

On a gray Wednesday in October, more than 81 years after the shootout, John and I returned to the scene. The house already had been lifted on jacks. The screened porch was gone; workers were carrying out lamps. A true-crime novelist was parked in an SUV, taking pictures.

Like John, he swore he had seen a face in a window.

“I think whatever’s in there doesn’t want us to come in,” said Tony Stewart, who had driven from Indiana to see the house in its original setting. “And it won’t come out.”

We had told the retired cop that we would meet him later. The tax collector didn’t want anyone else at the construction site. But Weiss pulled up in his white Cadillac, quaking in his tassled loafers.

“This is where their bodies were. They dragged ‘em right down this driveway,” said Weiss, clasping his arms across his chest. “She’s not at rest. She will never leave this property.”

He has felt this before, he said. “I sense spirits.”

The first time was in 1992, just before Christmas. He was on patrol in White Plains, N.Y., resting in his car between calls, when he had a vision of a sad teenage boy: long hair, pale, with a pug nose. Two days later, he was sent to a home where a teenage boy had hanged himself. “The same boy I’d seen.”

Hurricanes in The Villages, Florida

It has been a very quiet hurricane season so far but we know that could change quickly!  The strongest hurricanes that hit Florida have mostly been in September so we can’t have a sigh of relief for another few months.  With folks moving to The Villages, Florida from around the country, actually around the world one of the questions I get as a REALTOR® is “what about hurricanes”?  I like to share some quick facts about Florida and the safest cities when it comes to hurricanes.  Leesburg, Florida is listed as the safest city for hurricanes and Ocala, Florida ranked number 8.  Look at the map, most of The Villages is located very close to Leesburg and not that far from Ocala.  

The great thing about hurricanes if there is such a thing is we have plenty of notice one is coming.  This time of year, I check my hurricane tracker daily and see things moving off the coast of Africa a week before it becomes a factor in our local weather.  Yes, a hurricane can pop up in the Gulf but still at least a day’s notice before it could make land fall.  Tornadoes spawned by hurricanes is a bigger concern than hurricanes themselves.  The outer bands many times bring major thunderstorms and tornadoes so we must be alert.

Don’t let hurricanes be a deterrent from calling The Villages home!

Dead gangster Ma Barker doesn’t want her house moved

He called the newsroom with a warning: They can’t move that house.

“I’m worried something terrible is going to happen,” the man said in a thick New York accent. “I have to warn somebody.”

Then he told me a ghost story.

His name is Donald J. Weiss. He’s a 62-year-old retired police patrolman from upstate New York. He had moved to Ocala several years ago and visited the house where gangster Ma Barker had been killed. He had wanted to see the site of the longest shootout in FBI history: four hours, more than 2,000 bullets.

But when he wandered beneath the live oaks, a voice growled, “Get outta here, lawman!”

And when he took a photo of the front porch, a shadowy figure appeared.

“That woman is still in that house,” he told me. “And she’s pissed.”

He gave the photo to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office because he wanted to enter it into evidence. And because bad things started happening as soon as he had blown up the print. “I had a heart attack,” he said. “You think that’s a coincidence?”

The property has been sold, he told me. County officials want to move the house.

“They have no idea who or what is in there,” Weiss said. “That woman has the power to do a lot of things. We are dealing with the afterworld here.”

I thanked the caller for his concern.

“When are they moving it?” I asked.

He paused, as if to make a point, then said gravely, “By Halloween.”

Reporters get a lot of crazy calls. Many might have dismissed this one. But I knew this house, and so did my photographer friend John Pendygraft.

“Hey John,” I called across the cubicle wall. “Do you remember that story we did on the Ma Barker house?”

John’s eyes got big. “Do you remember what happened?”

Our story four years ago had been about real estate: historic home for sale on nine waterfront acres, eight miles north of the Villages, two hours from Tampa. And about the gangsters who hid out there until the end.

We had toured the four-bedroom house with a Realtor, whose assistant shivered and said, “I get the weirdest feeling when I’m in here.” We had reported rumors about flickering lights and an unsuccessful exorcism.

But we hadn’t written about what had happened to John. Or what he saw when he enlarged one of his pictures.

John has worked in war zones in Afghanistan and the Gaza Strip. He has photographed the dead from an Asian tsunami, a Mexican assassination and Hurricane Katrina. If he ever is scared, he won’t show it.

That fall day in 2012, in the Ma Barker house, he had gone alone into the front bedroom to take pictures through the window, looking out toward the lake where the FBI agents had crouched behind trees.

All of a sudden, John rushed out, cameras, lights, tripod flapping over his shoulders, nearly sliding down the 13 stairs. “I don’t know what happened, or what that was,” he panted. He heard the mattress fall, then saw it, dangling through the bed frame. “I didn’t touch it,” he insisted.

We left that afternoon, as dusk began to descend. From beneath the Spanish moss, John shot a few final frames. The next day, when he zoomed in on his laptop, he saw a strange figure on the screened porch: The silhouette of a stout woman with a bun, who looked like she was holding a machine gun.

Her story starts in Missouri, in 1873. Her parents named her Arizona Donnie Clark. She and a farmhand, George Barker, had four sons. As soon as the boys were grown, her husband left.

Legends vary about Ma Barker’s role in her boys’ gang. Some say she just cooked and cleaned. Others say she was the mastermind.

They began by robbing banks, then murdered a policeman. From 1910 through 1930, they are said to have stolen $2 million. And killed at least 10 people.

The FBI’s first director, J. Edgar Hoover, called them “the worst criminals in the entire country.” Ma Barker became the only woman to top the most wanted list.

In 1934, the gang split and went into hiding. One son fled to Chicago. Ma and her favorite son, baby Freddie, moved to Miami where, posing as a wealthy widow, she asked if anyone knew a secluded spot where she could spend the winter.

Someone introduced her to Carson Bradford, whose family had a lovely home in the center of Florida, on Lake Weir.

The house sounded perfect: fully furnished, set back from the road, with a boat tethered to a dock out back. Ma paid the full season’s rent in cash. Just before Thanksgiving, she moved in with Freddie and a couple of his friends.

In a letter to her son Arthur in Chicago, she drew a map of the lake and circled the closest town, Ocala. She mailed it from Ocklawaha’s little post office.

FBI agents found Arthur the following January, and with him, the letter, which led them to Ma’s hideout.

In the predawn darkness on Jan. 16, 1935, a dozen officers pointed their guns at the upstairs windows. “This is the FBI,” an officer shouted, according to an agency report. “You are surrounded.”

Some say the gun battle lasted as long as six hours.

When it was over, they found Freddie, 32, shot in the back of his head. Ma, 63, was curled on the floor, cradling her Tommy gun. That day, Hoover said, marked “the end of an era of violence.”

For nine months, the corpses lay unclaimed. Finally, a relative moved them closer to home.

But some say Ma still inhabits that two-story, cream-colored house with forest green shutters. The cop on the phone, my friend the photographer, the former and current owner all saw, heard or felt … something.

But how do you report a ghost story?

I started with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and that “evidence” photo the retired cop mentioned on the phone.

Lt. Dave Redmond remembered some man bringing in the photo, but the deputy hadn’t seen anything in it.

Records only go back to 1990, said department spokeswoman Lauren Lettelier. “But since then, there have been no reports of hauntings at that house.”

I talked to Carson Good, 47, the great-grandson of the man who built the house. He has memories of swimming and sailing in the lake. And of countless sleepless nights, cringing in the dark. “I’m not a big believer of ghosts, but I heard a lot of sounds in that house,” he said. “Voices. Furniture moving. People walking up and down the wooden stairs.”

His grandmother didn’t like to talk about it, but she often heard spirits stirring. Years ago, he said, a psychic from Cassadaga held a seance at the house and convinced the ghost of Freddie Barker to move on. But the medium said Ma refused to move.

Good and his family sold the property for $750,000 and donated the house to the county, which hired a contractor to lift the home off its foundation and float it across Lake Weir to a park called Carney Island. County commissioners allocated $270,000 for the move. Private donations and fundraising will finance the museum.

County tax collector George Albright, who grew up next to the storied house, envisions an homage to the early days of the FBI, as agents set out to capture notorious gangsters like “Baby Face” Nelson, “Pretty Boy” Floyd, Bonnie and Clyde and, of course, the infamous Barker gang.

“We’ve already had calls from people asking about ghost tours. If they want something like that, or to hold seances, we’ll look into that,” said the tax collector, “as a revenue source.”

Some say the gang buried Mason jars filled with cash along the lake. Local children used to spend summers digging for the treasure, but came up with shovels full of sand.

As soon as the home is removed, before the new owner closes on the land, the tax collector plans to bring in a team with ground-penetrating radar to scan the soil.

“Let’s hope she’s a friendly ghost,” he said.

On a gray Wednesday in October, more than 81 years after the shootout, John and I returned to the scene. The house already had been lifted on jacks. The screened porch was gone; workers were carrying out lamps. A true-crime novelist was parked in an SUV, taking pictures.

Like John, he swore he had seen a face in a window.

“I think whatever’s in there doesn’t want us to come in,” said Tony Stewart, who had driven from Indiana to see the house in its original setting. “And it won’t come out.”

We had told the retired cop that we would meet him later. The tax collector didn’t want anyone else at the construction site. But Weiss pulled up in his white Cadillac, quaking in his tassled loafers.

“This is where their bodies were. They dragged ‘em right down this driveway,” said Weiss, clasping his arms across his chest. “She’s not at rest. She will never leave this property.”

He has felt this before, he said. “I sense spirits.”

The first time was in 1992, just before Christmas. He was on patrol in White Plains, N.Y., resting in his car between calls, when he had a vision of a sad teenage boy: long hair, pale, with a pug nose. Two days later, he was sent to a home where a teenage boy had hanged himself. “The same boy I’d seen.”
