I'm glad this friend of yours was finally able to see the light. I wonder if this friend ended up with a healthy fixation on the mansion. Perhaps meeting some kindred haunted mansion spirit. Maybe this friend is a Disney fanatic to this day, using a mansion themed identity on the Internet or running in mouse adventures....
