The setup

Two young ghost hunters panic in a 'haunted' house that is really just three middle-aged women enjoying a quiet night of wine and books.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Two young men drag a reluctant friend into a supposedly haunted old house at night, flashlights sweeping the dark rooms. When a book slides across a table and a wine bottle seems to float through the air, the guys scream about a poltergeist, but their female friend can plainly see the culprits: a homeowner and her two friends relaxing in the living room. The women explain that once a woman reaches a certain age she becomes invisible to young men, and they cheerfully demonstrate the perks by smacking the terrified pair until they flee. Charmed by the women's candour about getting older, the young woman stays behind for a glass of wine and a little book-club bonding.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

When you're a woman and you get above a certain age, you just become invisible to young men.

Spirits, how have we angered you?

Well, I can't wait to get older.
