You could invite some rationalists there. Nice place for a meetup! :D

Eventually only the most rational visitor is left alive.

This is because the most rational person leaves as soon as the first person dies.

The most rational visitor would flee as soon as gunshots erupted from the house next door... (It's... not the nicest neighborhood.)

Honestly. Let's investigate! OrphanWilde, under which circumstances would it be possible for you to divulge the location of this anomaly?

It's in Lansing, Michigan. Which I suspect would be a -long- drive for most rationalists here.

The frequency of odd events was about once every month or so (including the rather-less-odd events like night terrors or the dream in which I was shot to death), and considerably less frequent (as in, once in two or so years) since I moved into another house and started visiting the house only in preparation to sell it.
