  4. Richardi House
    Posted November 29, 2009 at 10:40 pm | Permalink

    The Grand Victorian Bed & Breakfast (a.k.a. The Richardi House) is rumored to be haunted by Henri Richardi. Richardi built the house for his intended bride. When she left him for another man, he was heartbroken. Strange lights were seen in the cupola when the house was uninhabited (before being turned into a Bed & Breakfast).

    I heard that a baby's cry could be heard from the Richardi house on some nights (this was when the house didn't have anyone living in it, and nobody in the surrounding houses had babies). I wonder if that might be related to Richardi somehow.

    Anyone who reads this, please AVOID wasting your time and money on the Morrow road haunt.
    Sorry man, it's total amateur hour.
    I won't get in to specifics but, you should only consider it a donation to his movie project and don't expect any thing more than a backyard attraction.
    It really is sad.

    Attention: i went to this haunted house last night and got assualted by the workers and security!!!!!
    i got hit in the face with a bottle then i was sucker punched in the face and throat by 3 workers and 1 security guard for no apparent reason. i highly advise to avoid this place unless you want to spend the next day in the hospital.
    i have a black eye, a throbbing headache and a good lawyer...
