I think I'd be out of the door as fast as possible, too. Looks like the rental company will have a hard time renting this property. It might be better to tear it down.
Best of luck in the contest.

    Yes, I think burning it down might even be better. LOL

You've captured the fright of this experience really well and it made the hairs on my neck stand up, imagining myself in that situation.
As a suggestion, I think you could delete the following section. It is interesting as geographic information, but reading it slows down the pace and I think it is unnecessary:
"The Savannah is a major river in the southeastern United States, forming most of the border between the states of South Carolina and Georgia. Two tributaries of the Savannah, the Tugaloo River, and the Chattooga River, form the northernmost part of the border."

Well done, this is an excellent entry in this ghost story writing contest, I think most people would leave a place with three separate voices telling them to get lost. Good job, I used to enjoy the "Twilight zone". A show that was showing a few years, making the hairs stand up on one's neck, well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

You've certainly captured the sense of fear and panic in this tale of a paranormal event. Enough to unnerve anyone! Just one thing you might like to change before the contest deadline. Stevedore's in the title should be Stevedores'.

I enjoyed reading this horror and thriller fiction about an old haunted farmhouse. I have never had an experience with ghosts. The scariest thing that I have dealt with have been with people that are narcissists. They can literally suck the soul right out of you. Merry Christmas!

    Bill thank you, I self-confess I have no knowledge of ghosts, nor do I think I want to, now narcissists, that is another story and you are so wise and correct in that regard. Merry Christmas right back to you and yours!

This work has reached the exceptional level

I found this highly entertaining, and a little scary at the same time! I have seen a few ghosts in my time, and it's enough to make you flee! I do believe, I do believe! Very nicely written.

I thought this was a nice entry for the contest.
You write well.
Your writing allures the reader to believe that they exist within the story.
I do believe there are ghosts.
Nicely written!
