WILLIAMS HOUSE |
|
When Jean
and Ken Williams moved into their new house in 1983,
they were
curious about strange markings on the oak tree in their
front yard.
Soon, they started hearing unexplainable footsteps
and voices
in the house. Moving shadows roamed the house and
a black
substance oozed from the walls of the master bedroom.
They discovered
that their house was built on top of an old Negro
graveyard
called the Black Hope Cemetery. Neighbors confirmed the
sightings
of ghosts and some experienced phenomena in their own
homes.
Before the Williams family moved out in 1987, five members
had died
under mysterious circumstances. The Williamses sued the
developer
and wrote a book about their experiences, called The
Black Hope
Horror.
LOCATION
Crosby
is seventeen miles northeast of Houston on U.S. Highway 90.
The Williams
House is a private residence in a subdivision on
Hilltop
Drive in the Newport area of Lake Houston.
