The Legend of Hell House

In the history of haunted houses, there are some particularly gruesome ones. One particularly nasty one in England is Hell House.


The story goes that about 50 years ago, a woman called Mary Claudette got engaged to a Moray McLardy (who I have on record as being a member of some kind of cult which I'm looking into) They prepared to get married, but as Mary didn't have any other family members and it was traditional for the brides side to pay for the wedding, she sold her house to pay for it. The wedding day came and McLardy didn't show up, Mary was heartbroken and homeless.

The only clothes she had was her wedding dress and even the Church of Ecstatic Jubilation, where they were due to be wed, closed the door on her. With no where else to go, Mary wandered the streets and simply vanished!

No one knows how she died, but three years later the haunting of her old house began and has continued to this very day. The locals renamed her old home to Hell House. Legend has it that when you enter Hell House, the doors lock and you have till dawn before you are killed by a “Bride”.

Although it is literally a deathtrap for those who enter, it has had lots of different owners, due to savvy estate agents who have neglected to tell their victims that although it’s a good deal for a two bedroom semi-detached property, the occupants will die if they enter the house.

So be cautious, and remember to outright ask any estate agent you ever buy off of, if the house you are buying is built on an Indian burial ground, or is haunted, or if it has got a good broadband connection.
