SANDY, Ore. – A Sandy couple is afraid to move into their $2 million dream home, saying they are concerned about a mentally ill woman who is obsessed with their house.

Dena and Dale Hult said the woman, 44-year-old Brittany S. Fern, has sat in their driveway for hours, caused contractors to quit and even nearly convinced workers to change the home’s tile, siding and windows to her own preference.

“At that moment, I realized she thinks she's the lady of the house, and, when she meets the real lady of the house, what is she going to do?” asked Dena Hult.

Fern was recently lodged in jail on a trespassing charge, but the couple knows it won’t be long before she’s released.

“I think she puts up with him (pointing to her husband) cause he's the builder, but I'm the female of the house,” Dena Hult said. “That's the part that really scares me. Will she try to eliminate me?”

Her husband built the home on a 20-acre property that includes personalized “No trespassing” signs, which read “Brittany This is Not Your Property.” They haven't stopped the woman, and neither has the couple's attempt to get a restraining order.

“The judge said, ‘Sorry, she's not really stalking you, she's stalking your house,’ “ Dena Hult said.

Fern has talked to the couple, telling them she thinks she’s getting the home as a gift and talking about voices in her head she calls “the group" telling her what to do.

Though Dena Hult doesn’t want to move in, she said she also doesn’t want to take away her husband’s dream either. They just hope that Fern gets the help she needs for her mental illness.
