Donna and I got the chance to tour an historic old house on the island recently. I'm sure it was beautiful in 1906 when it was built but it has fallen into some disrepair in the short 102 years since. Some people just can't have nice things.
We enjoyed the visit though and I took advantage of the opportunity to snap a few pictures. 
That house is only 14 years older than my house. It could be made into a home again with three ingredients, time, money, and someone who cares with the will to see it through. Of the three, the last is the most important.

I'm sorry - am I the only one who noticed the ceiling in the top picture has been painted with THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT?!?

I hope that's a real human in that one picture and not a ghost!

So, what's the deal with the low ceilings in Washington? Every house that I've seen that's two stories (read: all of them) has a second floor ceiling that's about 6.5 feet away from the floor.

I, too, was going to ask about the apparition in the one photo... then I noticed the iridescent magnetic-force-field thing on the door in the through-doorway-to-chair shot. What IS that?

that house gives me the heebie-geebies... seems right up your alley bean.
perhaps donna is thinking his and her houses, she keeps the nice one and you go to this place.

This is straight out of a horror flick!
I think I can see the ghosts of creepy old ladies sitting in those chairs.
