Abandoned Houses: A Passionate Love-Hate Relationship.

There is something to be said about an abandoned house and the way its boarded up windows and doors can spark the imagination.
I love abandoned places. The mystery of them, the unconventional beauty and the way they break my heart. Unwanted, inconvenient, wasted.
Here in the Greater Toronto Area abandoned houses are a dime a dozen. In my town there are three on the same stretch of road. So many of these places seemed to be guilty of nothing more then standing in the way of someones idea of progress. One day we will miss these grand old structures.

"If these walls could speak..."

Nothing screams "ghost story" like an abandoned house. Ever since I read Dark Matter by Michelle Paver, I have been re obsessed with ghosts and the modern ghost story.

This particular house is located not far from where I live. the sheer size of it gives me chills. Then add in the whispers and rumors of murder and haunting and Evergreen Residence may be just what I need to get my imagination running and to write my own ghost story.
