Now that they knew where the smell was coming from, they had to find a way to get inside, but it would have been illegal to enter the two-story house. So, they considered calling the cops at first.

But they feared the authorities would ignore them over such a silly issue. Then they considered reporting the house as overrun to the city, but something happened that stopped them from calling anyone.

The villagers never imagined anyone would willingly live in that neglected house, but then they noticed people coming and going from the home. They were glad they hadn’t called the cops or stormed in.

And eventually, the smell went away, which allowed the neighbors to mind their own business for a while. But the worst was yet to come.
