I'm so excited. Tomorrow, I'm going to the city archives to look up info from over 100 yrs back on my house. I had no idea I could do this until today when I dropped by the neighbourhood library to look at some old local photos and sketches.
I don't blame you one bit. My own basement freaks me out at night.Originally Posted by Rosiemac
I was a key holder for the place if the alarm went off during the night, but my ex partner also worked here because there was no way i would come in here on my own in the dead of night because someones already said they've seen things
If it involves ghosts, it can't be boring!Originally Posted by Jaffacake
I love that kind of thing!
Strange about all the single women!
I tried to do some research about where I live now because someone told me that Lord Cornwallis used to stay here. Couldn`t find anything much though.
I`m living in the basement now and in my bedroom is the huge original linen cupboard but best of all there is a big safe ( Where all the silver would have been kept, I`m told). Its been painted over and no one has the key but I`ve spoken to the landlord and he said a locksmith would probably get it open.
I like imagining what might be in there but I bet its empty
I also researched anouther house I lived in but I wont bore you all with that though I believe there was a ghost there after some strange occurances. Got the original plans from the museum which was pretty cool.
Good luck with your research!
Apparently his name is on the deeds! I`m gonna ring a locksmith! Probably got a dead mouse in there.Originally Posted by pushylady
Jaffacake - you must find out what's in that safe! Could be Lord Cornwallis' valuables.
Well ok, you asked for it!Originally Posted by Fred&Nermal

Your city's archives or start at your local library (mine had a special file cabinet with local history of the neighbourhood).Originally Posted by Rosiemac
