Creepy or a Beauty?...

I've always loved old houses...the detail and elaborate designs are beautiful...but I would have to upgrade it with modern amenities like air conditioning. I have been in a beautiful old house in Maryland that is definitely haunted by at least three souls but it's historic so there's no chance of it being torn down. We never saw any of the ghosts but we do have some interesting photos of the globes, which appear and disappear at will. We were using three different cameras, taking shots from the same angles at the same time so we could see how the globes moved across the room as we were shooting.

I could live in a house like that. I love that old look. It shows that it has a history and the roughness gives it character. I don't care much for the really modern looking homes. Older houses just have a homier feeling to them. Oh and I love old hardwood floors. After my partner's house burnt, he moved an old house over on a new foundation, and beautifully restored it. It is modern but classic. He even somehow managed to keep the hardwood floors that were originally in the house. He did a really good job choosing neutral colors that flow really well from room to room.

H[i]i aseretdd, scary looking for me but I love also to preserve this because of the history. I find it beautiful. But, I don't like to stay alone there..LOL! I have seen yesterday from TFC a guy who are collecting old houses and I thought this is part of it..... Anyway,I hope they will preserve this and take care of it really, it will be great if they will open also this for public viewing. I have visited once in CEbu and gosh, it was scary...the rooms, the curtains and all, it was very very old and the lady who works there told us that one time when a students from Mindanao were there as their field trip, 2 students stayed longer in one of the room and lost the group but one lady wearing a Filipiniana Attire ushered them in every rooms and explain to them every history of it... They found out later that no staff who works there wear those attire! [/i]

Hello aseretdd, Wow! It is quite a big house and honestly, I feel creepy just looking at it. Very weird that my ideal house should be a single storey house with not so many rooms. I can't stand living alone in a big house. I am a scared person. If I inherit a big and old house like this, I think I will rent it out or maybe just find another buyer.

i think both, it's beautiful yet creepy. i would love to own an old house but i wouldn't live there maybe i'll turn it into a museum or something or i'll rent it for ghosthunters hehehe. it would be a waste to demolish such a historical house.

Well i wouldnt sell it ofcourse even if i dont live there.I will love to stay but the ghost thing keeps me a bit scared. Though even if i dont stay but i will definetly preserve it because i am jus in love with antiques a lot.Its just the gist of what was our ancestor about, their choices, their cultures etc. And mostly they are just unique from anything. just uncommon

Personally when a home is over 100 yrs. old it would be a shame to Tear down, and that is really nice that they would in turn donate it to someone to use as well. It does definately look old and a little scary looking, but if someone was really worried I am sure some paint and such could help as well. This is a definate part of History I would think needs to continue to be preserved as well.

i donot think it is at all creepy but it definetly needs some amount of maintainence work like a white wash and a paint before somebody decides to occupy it.it does look beautiful.

It would be very pretty if someone fixed it up. It sounds like it must be haunted although I am not sure if I belive in ghosts. I still like reading stories about them. This sounds very interesting.

I love it! I would live there but I would not bet that it isn't haunted. I lived in an old house for years and loved it. My grandfather bought it several years ago and it was beautiful but needed a lot of work done to it as this looks to need also. These types of homes are fun and the most beautiful ones made. They just don't design them like this anymore. Your boss should have kept this and lived there. There is plenty of history to it.

I love the house, I do not think it looks scary I think it looks like it needs work but can be a great house.

Old building is a city's history.Sometimes sedimentation history make people heavy. Living in it you will feeling a little depressed.If you remove all the history,make it be a complete modernization,you will often feel a bit at a loss.People are strange,sometimes prefer to seek the origin,search history.

it makes me remember some films i saw before, frankly, i don't dare live in this kind of house, it is so big and full of great history...especially the terrible voices,crying,and other sort noises at night your mentioned above, sounds creepy. if i have a house like this i would sell it as soon as possible and settle down in another place with a new house.

Hi Aseret! How are you? This house looks creepy to me. You wont see me walking on in there hhahhaha! Good thing that it is now under priests.

Oh my gosh, that could be such a beautiful old home if restored to it's original grandeur. I have lived in several old homes. One that was 80 years old, and I was actually fortunate to have the daughter of the doctor who had built it as a neighbor. She stopped by one afternoon and told me all about the history of the home. It was also amazing that every brick was just as straight as the day it was laid. I recently lived in an older home that was built in the 1920's, and after living there for over a year we came to find out that there was a 'ghost' residing there, we did not feel his presence until my b/f was playing Irish music. After that, we did notice the presence more often, although it was never a feeling of evil or bad. I love old homes, and would love to restore one myself someday. My parents have turned an old school house into a lovely home, although it is still a work in progress, they have done a lot to it.

Wow, this is a very beautiful house. I can see its nice design and it doesn't look so old anyway. I like big house. And this house seems to be very comfortable. I like to live in it. I also think that this house can be rented for the travelers. And it can also rent to make the film. I love China

I would like to live in a century old house like that.I will not have it demolished.I will repair and restore its original architecture.

Its creepy and beautiful at the same time. i believe that that house has many stories in it,both creepy and beautiful memories. I guess what makes the house look creepy is the fact that we were raised to identify creepy houses with old houses,big houses with wooden floors and many rooms just in the picture. But nevertheless I find it more on the beautiful side than the creepy one.For me,nothing beats the old architectural styles specially during the Spanish era.

Looks like my house aseretdd hehe :p There seems to be a lot of old family houses like that in the Philippines. I don't mind having old houses like that around but I wouldn't want to live in it. Unless it becomes an eyesore, demolishing it would not be preferable either. In a world of modernity, an occasional mix of historical structures is a relief.

I think that house is very beautiful. If I owned that house, I would not live in it because I would be scared, but I would not have it demolished. I might sell it or, just like your boss, donate it. That house is too valuable in its beauty and its history to be demolished and built over. It should be set up as a museum, so that people from all over may visit a house of valuable beauty and history.
