The 2010 Halloween House of Horrific Haunted Happenings

It's that time of year again! I've had houses on my mind, so it's only logical that this year's theme be...yes...nineteenth-century (and a few Edwardian) haunted house tales.   The occasional poem also wanders by. 

(Previous Halloween posts: Victorian gothic; a collection of historical horror links, true and fictional; various horror stories;  Madame Tussaud's in 1886; creepy art.)
