Mystery Houses



Return to home page

In most cases little information exists about the houses listed here, including even the state where they might exist, or have existed. They are put in this location in hopes that their existence can be verified by someone, and that more information will be forthcoming. They are listed here to provide a focus, rather than to just put them in some state and hope that someone sees that something is wrong. Where the state is thought to be known, houses might be listed in both places.
