Alright, I've been facinated by haunted houses since I was a wee child, when I would stay up late at night reading from a big book documenting ghosts and intentionally scare the shit out of myself. I'm a big skeptic when it comes to a lot of things, but ghosts have been the one thing that I have always considered very real. Which is suprising, since I've never actually seen a ghost or experienced anything paranormal (well, never clearly experienced).
Well, my favorite haunted history has to do with England's Borley Rectory. The famed ghost hunter and debunker Harry Price spent years researching and studying the house, and considered it to be the most haunted place in all of England. The following website has mass amounts of information on the house and its legends. And if anyone's ever been there, do tell!

This is the famous "floating" brick photo. It appeared in LIFE magazine in 1947. Notice it slightly right of center? Notice also the position of the workman on the far left side of the picture - almost equal with the brick.
Creepy f'in place.
So fellow DUers, what are your favorite haunted houses? Have you ever lived in one? Ever seen a ghost? DO tell us about it!
