Netflix’s supernatural horror television series, The Haunting of Hill House, debuted to positive reviews from both critics as well as audiences. The show is based on the 1959 novel of the same name written by Shirley Jackson.
The Haunting of Hill House follows the story of five siblings who along with their parents Hugh and Olivia Crain move into a spooky old mansion called Hill House back in 1992 only to face the unnatural and paranormal occurrences. They are forced to confront the ghosts from their past (and the house) after their youngest sister commits suicide.
Interestingly, the mansion that was used to shoot the exterior shots for the Crain family home was also haunted in real life. The former owners of the mansion, who lived in the spooky property for years, revealed the same in an interview with The Blast.
According to Neil and Trish Liechty, who bought the 11,000 sq ft Bisham Manor located in LaGrange, GA, back in 2013, is definitely haunted.
Neil revealed that he never believed ghosts until he moved into the mansion with his wife. He recalled a number of incidents where strange, unexplained things happened in the home. He said he used to hear music coming from various corners of the house when, in fact, he actually had no musical instrument installed in the home. He also described smelling tobacco smoke in the house, while nobody in his family smoked.
In another strange incident, Neil found his cellphone disappeared from his desk and then reappeared a couple of weeks later on the same spot.
Neil and his wife believe that the unruly spirits originate from the early 1920s were the residents of a building that used to exist on the location. They revealed that the homeowner kept one room from the original structure intact when he got it remodeled in 1997. The couple claimed that this original room had some connection with the bizarre events.
While Neil and Trish sold the house over a year ago, they claim that the spirits followed them even in their new house.
The Haunting of Hill House Season 1 is streaming now on Netflix.
