It was a relief that the door swung open - this was not going to become an impromptu three hour discourse. Ford did not have to find ways to be interesting.
"Ghosts don't make things dusty," he pointed out, a little glib. Of course Cash knew that, and Ford knew what he meant; that if this place were really haunted, it would not be so often trafficked by people who wore physical boots. Ford surveyed the front door, then reached out to swing it one way then another. It glided easily enough; it felt heavy, but not unreasonably so for a door of its size, and there weren't any sticking points like he might have expected if it had been hastily rigged to open. It presumably was rigged, but he could admire the craftsmanship; the mechanism wasn't obvious. Was it possible to pull a door this heavy with magnets in the floor, or something like that? Maybe, but he was hardly going to pull up the floorboards on the front porch to investigate. He closed the door gently behind them. "Did you get the story of this place? Supposed story."
