From the Mouths of the Marvels:

"There's one gent I'm giving a lot of elbow room to! Yes sir!"

-- bystander, on Dr. Strange, page 9

Hey, haunted house alien guy...aren't you glad your secret wasn't snooped out by a talking dog and a bunch of meddling kids?

Synopsis: Dr. Strange watches as a local TV station sends a reporter into a "haunted house" for a live report. As skeptical citizens look on, Dr. Strange tries to enter the house in his ethereal form, but is unable to penetrate a strong barrier of mystic force. He uses his mystic "eye" through his amulet to look inside the house. He sees the TV reporter witnessing a lamp floating through the dark shadows and a supernatural mist forming out of thin air. Suddenly, the reporter stands in a state of shock, and Dr. Strange realizes he must enter to help save him. He makes his way into the house with his magic powers and challenges the sentient being inside the house to release the man. He is refused and so he shows off his immense powers to let the entity know who he's dealing with! The entity agrees to let the reporter go, and Dr. Strange lets him know he is aware of his secret: that the house is a being from another space and time, who took the form of a house to spy on Earthlings in order to take over the planet one day. Dr. Strange tells the entity to go back to his domain and never come back, then he covers the house with the Vapors of Vishanti and the house disappears. The onlookers imagine the whole event as TV make-believe.
