    the house i grew up in was built in 1800 (it was a duplex) and honestly it was the creepiest house i ever lived in. it had the old style stone cellars and wooden steps and i always used to have to put a chair in front of the cellar door cause whenever i tried to close it i honest to god felt a force making it hard to shut. and i’m absolutely certain that i woke up in the middle of the night and looked down the stairs and saw two people in period clothes just standing there and it’s far too real to have been a dream.

    i lived in this town so mostly all of the houses were built for the mill by the family who owned it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitinsville,_Massachusetts

      Yeah lots of houses super old around here, especially at the old mills area. My buddy lives in Uxbridge near one of the lakes, funny enough I’m a few towns away. Small world, Lemmy.
