r/hauntedhouses

My parents bought a huge old house in the country side of Italy. They found it and immediately bought it because the price was extremely convenient and the house was amazing and fully furnished. They moved in in 2022. The house was built in 1912 and we discovered shortly after buying it that the second owner of the house committed s******d, the third one never went to live in it as he divorced shortly after buying it and sold it to my parents fast.

I asked questions about the house to the people who live in the village but everybody were just saying it's a beautiful house and they acted a bit weird when we were asking..

My parents moved in, and I always felt like something evil was present in some of the rooms.

I cannot even stand to enter in one of them.

Two years after we moved in, my mother started feeling sick and she discovered she had cancer and passed away early this year.

And today, my father told me that people from the village told him that the man who actually built the house, the very first owner, was drowning in debts, so he k***d himself and CURSED the house and all the people who would have lived there.

What can we do? I have stories of strange things that happened to me there, I am sure something is wrong. Please, any advice would be appreciated.

Me at the Whaley House

The Whaley House; in San Diego, California; was built on top of the site of the town’s old gallows. It is said to be haunted by many ghosts; and multiple deaths occurred in the house after it was built. One of the most tragic was the suicide of Violet Whaley; Thomas and Anna Whaley’s daughter. She had recently found out that the man she married was a conman, simply hoping to gain some of the Whaleys’ fortune by wedding her. Depressed, Violet shot herself in the chest with her father’s rifle inside of their outhouse. At only 22 years old; she died after her parents heard the gun discharge, found her, and carried her into the parlor; where she would suffer approximately 20 agonizing minutes, before finally passing away. Her suicide note was a quote from a Thomas Hood poem: “Mad from life's history, swift to death's mystery; glad to be hurled, anywhere, anywhere, out of this world.”
Here is footage of me seemingly speaking to her spirit; it was my first time using dousing rods, so I can’t guarantee it wasn’t me accidentally crossing them (of course I tried to avoid doing so); but the motion-activated music box was going wild as well, while nobody was crossing the sensor. Please pardon my voice being so annoying, and my father talking while taking the video! Thoughts?

I'm working on a spooky management sim where you design and operate your own dark ride.

Hey everyone,

After the overwelming positive response I received last time, I'd love to share the latest gameplay of the Haunted House Management Sim I'm building.

It's a cozy-creepy management sim where you design and operate your own haunted house dark ride. Instead of a regular god-mode view, you sit behind an industrial operator dashboard and personally manage the whole attraction. It has a detailed pixel-art style and a cuty & spooky atmosphere.

I'm currently working very hard to get a demo ready for Halloween season. If you like, you can find more info and screenshots on the Steam page:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4480080/Scream_Operator_Haunted_House_Manager/

No Generative AI was used for the art, animations, code or assets. All (pixel) art and mechanics are created by either me, or the great artists I've been working with on this adventure.

If there are any questions or ideas, feel free to hit me up! I'll be super happy to discuss in the comments.

Haunted locations near Austin, Tx

So I have a kinda master list in my notes app of haunted locations I want to investigate. Ever since I did an over-night at the Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells, I’ve really wanted to devote more time to paranormal investigation. It’s very thrilling and is endlessly fascinating to me. I have a list of locations in Texas, including the one Austin location I know of (the Driskill Hotel) but I really want to add to the list of places that are more accessible to me. So anywhere in the central to east Texas area. Maybe even include your stories and evidence because—fun. Thank yall in advance 😘🤠
