With Halloween just around the corner, this seemed appropriate. I found a cool article on Victorian homes over at Our Strange World, a blog dealing with the paranormal.

The article starts out: “With their bay-windowed towers, widow’s walks and creaky floors, Victorian homes are the go-to image for being creepy and haunted — the place where some bogeyman-type will give chase to neighborhood children.” It sites films such as “The Amityville Horror and “Pacific Heights”.

Growing up on horror films and seances, it makes perfect sense to me why I’m in love with Victorians. I do want to decorate my home with gargoyles and dragons. And I must admit that there’s something about a decrepit old haunted looking house that makes me salivate.

My Beacon home looks spooky. But the energy is so positive that it’s the first home in 15 years that I didn’t smudge (smudge=ritual to clear house of negative energy). Just goes to show you, looks are deceiving.
