As per usual with Australian listings I am filled with an urge to move there, especially because this house seems to come with a Galaga table, which would greatly enliven family dinners. But let’s take a peek in the bathroom…
Oh. Hmm. The house also seems to come with… with… with big melty black furry monster, who happened to wander past the mirror. I don’t think I would like to live with a big melty black furry monster. Admittedly I’ve never tried it, but I just have a bad feeling about it. Call me prejudiced if you must, but I shall decline this house.

The house is in Tasmania. The listing agent must be Taz, and he accidentally caught himself in the mirror when he was taking the bathroom picture with his… er, invisible camera.
My thoughts exactly! I’m feeling scared just looking at him. I thought I wanted to visit Australia, but now not so sure. I don’t want to run into this agent for sure!
Well, you know what they say about Tassies.
The house also seems to come with a transparent toilet…
I was, for a moment, baffled about the need to put the toilet in a shower enclosure.
But I had never heard of a Galaga table before. I so want one!
I can see teeth and eyes on that thing! Is that show still on where they go around looking for monsters? They’re always looking outside. No wonder they’ve never found any!
Uh, I’m wondering why isn’t the person that took the photo showing up IN the mirror? I’m thinking that’s a werewolf, and the pix was taken by a vampire. Don’t they usually hang out together?
Hmmmm….
I bet the werewolf and vampire were having a monster party!

The person partially erased him/herself with Photoshop, but not completely.
I liked the story better about the vampire taking the picture with his invisible camera. the fuzzy monster is his pet who does show up in the mirror.
whats with the blue?
and how come the backyard looks so verdant and in odd eye aching colors?
The toilet is a reflection in the shower surround and I’m wondering why isn’t the person that took the photo showing up IN the mirror? I’m thinking that’s a werewolf, and the pix was taken by a vampire. Don’t they usually hang out together?
Hmmmm….
As PiddlyD says, the picture was Photoshopped – they just cloned/stretched/copied a block of the the image (the ceiling) down over their own picture. You can just see the legs of the tripod and an arm.
Aha! I have solved the mystery, Scooby-Doo.
They’ve used a smudge tool in photoshop to remove themselves from the reflection in the mirror, and in the process of smudging, they have created the artifact that looks like some sort of little, misshapen, troglodyte monster.
I say the image is of the photographer’s _soul_, and if you buy that house you’d better not be Dorian Gray.
What? The toilet ISN’T in the shower! Aww! But I love to shower whilst I empty my bladder.
Torglodyte werepire aside…..what the hell was there a massive sale on gray paint????
The different shades of gray inside make the landscape outside techicolor vivid, though. It looks like the summer of 1972 outside the living room.
House monster aside, I want that house, only 700k for what is ostensibly 7 bedrooms… WOW… though I don’t know what I’d do with 18 acres, that view from my bedroom would more than compensate I think.
Maybe Taz is running in terror from those weird blue bathroom tiles, 80′s window treatments throughout the home, & that really scary orange/blue southwestern patterned couch. Hopefully he can escape into that picturesque countryside.
In regards to the larger bathroom, I wonder if they were thinking
“Hmm, we’ve put in a corner tub, but have an empty bare corner in the room now. What to do…. Wait, I have a great idea, how about we put in a built in garden to match the tub?”
I’d happily live with the big black blurry troll if it meant I could have that VIEW!! This house is awesome, in spite of the massive overuse of gray paint (especially that 2nd kitchen) & flowery print curtains- both easily remedied. And can you say “hard to get to” (aka secluded)? It’s on an isthmus, near the end of a peninsula, on an island. When I win the lottery…
I bet that monster’s perfectly harmless. He probably feeds on dryer lint and dust bunnies, and is named “Flumph” after the sound he makes when he trips over his own feet. He just wants a friend!
It’s the infamous Tasmanian Devil. But I’ll put up with him if I can have that house… and a few gallons of paint to cover all the prison gray.
Oh, that view… Lovely.
I went to the real estate’s website, and the outside of the house in the pictures of the inside looks like pictures they put in the windows to make it look nice. In other words, this entire house looks like a tv/movie set to me.
I did think the window views looked fake/ photoshopped. Too bad.
actually no, thats what Clifton Beach looks like, it’s a very popular holiday home area, and quite a lot of houses are built on or around the peninsula near the beach, I’ve been down that way many many times, which is why I’d love to buy it.
I don’t doubt the area really looks like that. I’m just wondering if you can actually see that from the windows of that particular house. Something about the colors or outlines through the windows says “artist’s rendering” to me. But I could well be wrong.
I agree, the vibrancy is off…on the Galaga table picture, there should be far more light coming inside the room. I got that photoshopped feeling from many of the windows in the interior shots; I don’t doubt that there is an incredible view, but I’m pretty sure it’s not, as PiddlyD says, in technicolor.
Apparently not everyone has the mad photoshop skillz of Sara….
Hee! That’s funny!
The photographer made himself look like the Grim Reaper!
Look at that view! Oh my goodness, for that view? I’d put up with a few hell beasties and demon whatnots romping around near the plumbing.
“Wait for me Australia! Don’t move an inch!”
*throws sunscreen and incidental holy water into suitcase*
Oh come now guys, haven’t you heard of a Yowie? Their famous down here!
Every house has one to eliminate the need for plumbers…
Not to mention the ghost-toilet haunting the shower stall… >.>*
They really have managed to make the house look like an ’80s private hospital. The paint, the curtains, the vertical blinds – everything!
This is Australia, so that black thing is probably just one of their common house spiders.
It’s either a yowie, a sloth, or a bird eating spider.
Who knew the smoker monster hailed from Australia?
Yeah, the smoke monster was my first thought, too! Apparently when he’s not killing people or impersonating dead people, he’s a photographer.
Hmmm i dunno, it looks like the little girl from The Ring.
One thing I have to know, not ‘what is the black thing’ but…
What the hell is holding the camera? The picture seems to be taken from the middle of the room, in front of the mirror. So, I’d expect to see a photographer in the mirror.
Just the black thing there. I suspect that vampires are selling the house, or the black thing is.
Damn, this thing’s gonna bug me.
ok. Photoshop IS the most logical explanation….but. That image is still bothering me…eerie.
