Woman found an old newspaper under floorboards pointing to a past murder in her historic home, stirring spooky experiences.
She lived in the house with friends. The house dated back to the 1870s. She found a newspaper from 1890 under a floorboard. The paper reported a murderer’s hanging, and the house felt very scary.
Strange noises also occurred there. They heard footsteps often, on the stairs and in the hall. Shadowy figures appeared sometimes too. One night, she was alone, and the cellar door slammed shut. The porch enclosed the door; wind could not have caused it.
Her friend saw a tall man standing in her bedroom doorway. This made them leave quickly. The room was in the attic, across from her friend’s room, and neither room had doors.
Her housemate saw the figure all night when the woman was alone. The house got renovated years ago, and the neighborhood improved since then. The new owners’ experiences are unknown.
She now owns another old house, a folk Victorian from 1891. They found a child’s glove and old bobby pins inside a vent. Someone died in the house, but they have not seen anything spooky.
Another person shared a similar story. They worked for a construction company that worked on an old farmhouse. They found old news articles about a murder case on boards in the basement.
The owners were murdered and buried in the backyard. The farmhand did it, and he was convicted and electrocuted. The crew found this during their work.
