We encountered and determined the cause of a temporal anomaly in the mountain town of Trinidad, Colorado.  A clock on a funeral parlor displays an incorrect time (four hours early, plus the shadows of the clock's hands depict a bonus time five minutes later).  As constant investigators of such phenomena, we saw the source of the problem with a mere turn of the head.  Directly across the street is an historic gothic house, the Bloom Mansion.  That haunted relic from 1882 is the cause of the funerary clock's error, the effect compounded by the existence of a mini version of the mansion in the form of a Little Free Library (boosting the disruptive signal, as it were, from the macrocosm into the microcosm).  Though the cause is simple enough, great mysteries yet abound, for does a fourth-story widow's walk have the power to disrupt the flow of time?  By the way, as we walked toward the Bloom Mansion on the day of our investigation, our progress was delayed by an improbably long funeral procession that passed in front of us.  As plutocrats of the supernatural, we expected nothing less.
