FILL: Aged Halloween Treats? (3)

EXERCISE: The House On the Hill?
The house frowned at visitors coming up the road to the hill, conjuring up the feeling that a castle should have been sitting there, casting its shadow down, instead of the rather ordinary little two-story house that showed up in the headlights. And when the house awakened from time to time, it was wont to prove to the current residents that such a haunted castle would have been preferable to what actually had been built there.
Feel free to finish the story. Who lives there now, and what happens...what kind of spirit does this poor house have, envious of castles, and willing to take out its frustrations on the residents?
