A terrific group of personal finance bloggers got together to write about the current real estate and mortgage crisis. The result was a collection of great articles that I’ve linked to below. And if you were ever curious where the phrase–things that go bump in the night–came from, make sure you read to the end of the post.

“Things that go bump in the night” came from a Scottish prayer:
From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!
And I’d say that’s a good prayer for the real estate market right now.
