In what is becoming one of my favorite traditions for the spooky season, I stopped by the (maybe) most haunted house in Loudoun County again this year.
I've posted about it since 2020. Is it the most haunted in Loudoun County? I don't know. But I do know, as of now, it's still standing, though for how long is anyone's guess.
Here it is, just yesterday:
Not much change, I think, from last year.
It's little more than a ruin now, and has been for some time. I don't think it's been inhabited since the 1980s, possibly before, and it's fascinating and sad to watch it crumble. You can see signs that it was once a beloved, well-kept home – the delicate dental molding at the front, what was once a fireplace on the second floor, remnants of bright white paint on the exterior bricks.
It's certainly not a home anymore. But whether it's empty? Well, who can say for sure?
P.S. As I did last year and the years before, I'll add this disclaimer: This house is on private property, and there are no trespassing signs posted, so please don't go poking around where you're not welcome. It's easy enough to take a picture from the road.
*And one more quick note: October's short story will be posted one day late, on November 1st. I think it's going to be a good one, so check back if you're interested!*
