Closing Wishing Well and dealing with Haunts

[MythicFox]

As worded, the 'When Permanently Closed' text on the Wishing Well suggests that only the character doing the closing gets to remove the Haunts they've accumulated. Is this correct? If two players team up on the Wishing Well (say, one person needs the boons more but the other can actually make the checks to close the location), is one of them just screwed for the rest of the scenario?

I don't know what the card says, but unless the location says otherwise, the effect for closing only applies to the person who actually closed it.

Yes, only the character closing gets to banish their haunts. Check the closed side of the card and you'll see that, once closed, any character ending their turn there can also banish their haunts. So the cost of teaming up is one of you will (probably) have to waste a turn at a closed location to banish your haunts.

*facepalm* I always forget to check the backs of the locations before closing them. Thanks.
