The quest "Where Spirits Have Lease" in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered starts in the city of Anvil, specifically at The Count's Arms inn. There, you speak to Velwyn Benirus who offers to sell you Benirus Manor for 5,000 gold
. After purchasing the manor, which is located on the west side of Anvil near the main gate, you enter and sleep in the bed upstairs. This triggers a ghost attack. After defeating the spirits, you find a torn diary page and a skeletal hand on the ground floor. You then return to Velwyn at The Count's Arms to demand an explanation
. The quest continues with you tracking Velwyn to the Imperial City, convincing him to help lift the curse on the manor, and then returning together to the manor's basement. There you fight through more ghosts and confront the ghost of Lorgren Benirus, the source of the curse. Defeating Lorgren lifts the curse, allowing you to fully claim and use Benirus Manor as your player home
