Last Halloween I was wandering around town looking for Halloween-themed pictures for an October photo challenge when I stumbled upon a really creepy-looking house several blocks from where I live. I snapped some pictures which I posted to my Flickr but later decided not to use, but then I promptly forgot about it until a few weeks ago, when I was talking to a friend of mine and the subject of the house came up.
It turns out that the house is called the Martinez House, and it it’s over 100 years old. It’s been vacant for decades, and and while there are a number of conflicting (and interesting!) stories on its history, the current owner is adamant that it’s not haunted.
I don’t believe in ghosts, but if anything were going to be haunted, I’d put this place on the prime candidates list for sure.

Full-front wide-angle shot. This is all the way zoomed out, and you can definitely see the barrel distortion of the lens on this one.

Here’s a couple more links on the place, in case you’re curious:
