hamjobs posted:oh hey, another story: once upon a time, after freeing the enslaved peoples from the plantation what is now a famous garden, my village was originally sharecropped out to lower middle-class people that were both immigrants who were indentured as well as the formerly enslaved, and there were a series of original crofthouses on this land; people were given odd crops and unseasonable types of plants to grow in an effort by the estate of said wealthy landowner, dooming them to fail and starve. then, white but affluent immigrant folks moved in, with money, and built the stately firebrick homes in this, and the neighboring village, causing an influx of cash made during the 1920s. when the cash boom finally busted, families here were relatively well protected due to being well invested in commodities that would fuel the coming second world war. that list of things sounds like I've found a list of evidence for a super spooky mystery, crazy stuff. My cousin restores homes and finds those sorts of things in walls and whatever pretty frequently, but never that much in one home. also knowing what I do, "a silver candle stick engraved with the monogram H" is kind of eerie.

I am jealous of your spooky murderhouse, i try to write horror novels in my decidedly un-spooky house. though we found a crawlspace we didn't know existed, but there's nothing in it... but air!!! and some blow-in insulation I suppose

other sub-hammer murder & possession horrors my house may feature: earwigs, a leaky bathtub, crushing ennui
