Terrified estate agents
驚恐的房產經紀人

This spine-tingling video shows the hilarious moment a group of estate agents were caught out when a brilliant haunted house prank had them running for their lives.
這個激動人心的視頻記錄下了讓人爆笑的時刻：一群房產經紀人拼命奔逃，而這卻是因為一場絕妙的鬼屋惡作劇。

They were invited to a seemingly normal home in Enfield, north London, to value the property for a sale.
這些房產經紀人應邀來到倫敦北部恩菲爾德一棟看似正常的房子，來為此房產的出售估價。

When they arrived, they were greeted by 'homeowner' Rose.
到達后，“房屋主人”羅絲接待了他們。

She was in fact an actress who told them she was being forced to sell the property after her brother died there.
其實她是個演員。她告訴他們，她哥哥在這里去世了，她不得不把房子賣掉。

After a brief show around, Rose nipped off to answer the phone, leaving the property experts to have a good look by themselves.
在領著他們簡單地四處看看之后，羅絲溜出去接電話，留下這些房產專家讓他們自己好好看房子。

One man seemed slightly perplexed after the cold water tap in the bathroom appeared to turn itself on and off of its own accord.
有個人看上去有些困惑，因為他看到浴室里的冷水水龍頭好像會自動開關。

But it was in the master bedroom where the estate agents really started to sense a 'paranormal presence' .
但是，在主臥，這些房產經紀人才真正開始感覺到有“超自然的存在”。

And when the door slammed shut and the armchair began wheeling around the room by itself, they all decided they had enough and attempted to make a break for it.
門“砰”地就關了，扶手椅也開始自己在房間里亂跑，這時候他們都受不了了，試圖逃出去。

Moments later, the hidden camera team emerged to explain the whole thing was just one big joke - thankfully they all saw the funny side of it.
過了一會兒，藏起來的攝像組出來解釋整個事情就是個大玩笑——謝天謝地房產經紀人們都覺得這件事也挺好玩。
