Ngaphambili ezaziwa ngokuba yiNdlu eHununted eMelika, ikhaya lika-carpetbagger uCharles Wright Congelier, umfazi wakhe uLyda, kunye nentombazana encinci, u-Essie, yayise-1129 Ridge Avenue, kwindawo yaseManchester North Side yasePittsburgh. Ibali lobomi balo njengendlu ekhunjiweyo liqala ebusika ngo-1871, kunye nokufunyanwa kukaLyda kaCharles enxulumene nentombi. ULyda wayethukuthele kakhulu, kangangokuthi wamgwaza uCharles waza wanyula intloko kaEssie.
Kwiminyaka engama-20 ezayo, indlu yahlala ingenamntu. Kwaye yahlengahlengiswa ukulungiselela abasebenzi baseburhulumenteni ngo-1892, kodwa ngokukhawuleza basuka, bathi bayiva ukukhala nokukrakra komfazi. Indlu eHununted Most in America yaphinda imile ngaphandle.
Ema-1900, uDkt. Adolph C. Brunrichter wathenga ikhaya. Ngo-Agasti 12, ngo-1901, intsapho eyayihamba ngasemva yakuva ukukrakra okukrakra kwiindawo zokuhlala eBrunrichter, "kubhala uRichard Winer noNancy Osborn kwincwadi yabo, iiHowun Haunted . "Xa bebalekela ngaphandle ukuphanda, abamelwane babone ukuqhuma okubomvu-kufana nokutshitshiswa kwindlu.
Xa amagosa angena endlwini ukuba aphande, afumana isidumbu esisetyhini esele saqhekeza esihlalweni kunye nabasetyhini abatsha abangenazintlu ezisezantsi.
"UDkt. Brunrichter wayesebenzisa iintloko eziqhekekileyo," wabhala uWiner no-Osborn. "Kubonakala ukuba wayekwazi ukuhlala ephilileyo ixesha elifutshane emva kokunciphisa." UDkt. Brunrichter, okwangoku, wayephelile, kwaye indlu yaphinde yema.
Ngenxa yesigwebo sokuthi i-haunted, indlu yayingenanto iminyaka emininzi phambi kokuba iphinde isetyenziswe kwisibini ukulungela abasebenzi base-Equitable Gas Company.
Laba basebenzi bafumana iintlobo ezininzi ezingaqhelekanga kodwa babhala njengabasebenzi baseMerika ababethathe indawo (kwimvuzo ephantsi). Ngobunye ubusuku izinto zaqala ukuguquka, kunye nabasebenzi babini bafunyanwa befile ephantsi. Omnye waba nebhodi eqhutywe njengenxalenye kwisifuba sakhe, kwaye enye yayilenga kwi-rafter. La madoda aye babonakala bephila nje imizuzu embalwa ngaphambili.
Ngomnyaka we-1920, isazi esaziwayo kunye nomqambi, uTomas Edison, beza kufundisisa indlu. U-Edison uthetha ngomatshini awakhayo ukuze avumele ukunxibelelana nabafileyo. U-Edison wafa ngaphambi kokuba kulungiswe indlela. UWinner no-Osborn babhala ukuba ukuvakashelwa kukaThomas Edison endlwini ka-1129 Ridge Avenue kubonakala kwathonya inkolelo yakhe eqinile emva kokufa.
NgoSeptemba ka-1927, unxila wabanjwa owayebiza uDkt. Adolph Brunrichter. Watsho ngamapolisa amava ahlaselayo ngobundlobongela, ukufumana iidemon, ukuhlushwa kunye nokubulala okwaye kwenzeka endlwini. Abasemagunyeni babengenakukwazi ukuba umntu obenesitokweni wayeyi-Dr Brunrichter. Le ndoda yakhululwa emva kwenyanga kwaye yayingabonwa kwakhona.
Iintsuku zabalawulwa kwindlu eyayinokuthi wonke umntu wayeqinisekile ukuba yayibi. Ekufuphi, kwisayithi ngoku iCarnegie Science Centre, yindawo enkulu yokugcina igesi yendalo kwihlabathi.
Ngomhla kaNovemba 15, 1927, itanki enkulu yokugcina igesi ephethe i-Equitable Gas Inkampani yaqhuma ngamandla enamandla evezwe kwinqanaba. Ibali leSixeko sase-Old Allegheny, ehlanganiswe ngabasebenzi beNkqubo yabaBhali beMisebenzi yoLawulo lweProjekthi, ichaza ukutshatyalaliswa. "Njengokuba izindlu zawa kunye neenkumbi ezibethekileyo, izitena, iglasi ephukile, iziqhekeza zetsimbi kunye nezinye iindawo ezingcolileyo zanyuka kwiindwendwe zabahlali abaqhaqhaqhaqhaqhazelayo nabashukunywe esitratweni ukusuka emakhaya abo aphehliweyo, becinga ukuba inyikima yavakashela esi sixeko. "U Umkhosi wawomelele kangangokuba kwathiwa waphuma ngeefestile kwidolophu yaseMnt. EWashington, kwaye kude kube njenge- Freedom Liberty . Izityalo ezininzi zokuvelisa kunye namakhulu emakhaya zonakaliswe okanye zatshatyalaliswa kwindawo engama-20-mile.
Indlu eHununted iningi eMelika, eyayihlala kwindawo yosuku lwaloo mihla ye-Route 65 / I279 yokutshintshana, yachithwa ekuqhubheni. Ngokutsho kweWinner kunye no-Osborn, bekuyiyo kuphela isakhiwo esonakaliswe ngokuqhutyelwa ngaphandle kokufunyanwa.
* Ibali elingasentla liyinto nje - mhlawumbi ibali. Wazalwa ngokunyanisekileyo inyaniso, kodwa ininzi ininzi ibonakala iyinto eqhelekileyo kwindalo. Mhlawumbi le nto yayingendawo, nangona kunjalo. Ngethuba le ndlu yonakalisiwe, ingagqitywanga ngokupheleleyo, kuqhutywe ukuqhuma kwe-Equitable Gas, uMarie Congelier, oneminyaka engama-28 ubudala, wafa ngaloo mini ngokwemibiko yephephandaba. Wayebethelwa ngeglasi ehambahambayo waza wabulawa ngendlela eya esibhedlele. Nangona yonke iNdlu yeHlabathi yeHununted yaseMelika ayinyaniso, andiyi kummangalela ngokumnxusa loo ndawo!
