Tim:
If the Basilisk killed the Riddles on Tom's command, wouldn't the 
Riddle house be haunted by the 3 ghosts. I think the first chapter 
of GoF, which gives us the background info, states that the house 
stood empty for the last 50 years... no mention of anything other 
than kids breaking into it to upset Frank.



Me: 
Why should it be haunted? Not every dead person becomes a ghost. Remember
that Myrtle had something to do on Earth, make that Olive who sent her
crying into the toilet and ultimately caused her to die pay for it! and when
that was done she still had the whole world to 'punish' for her miserable
life! Even though I'm quite convinced that what is holding her back now is
that she actually enjoys being a ghost at Hogwarts1
