The Rostonville Horror.

I just noticed that there appeared to be water lying behind the overflow bypass at the top of the sink in the bathroom. I tested it by filling the sink to see whether the overflow was free. It wasn’t, so I put some chemical drain cleaner in.

I soon wished I hadn’t. The cleaner obviously reacted with whatever is causing the blockage, and soon there was black, slimy gunge flowing out of the overflow and into the sink. It looked and smelt disgusting, and the smell is now permeating the whole house.

So where does this sort of thing happen? In 70s-style horror films, that’s where. If black slimy mud starts running down the stairs, I just might let you know before I vacate the house and seek refuge at a motel.
