Whoa! that is quite creepy. When you get a further confirmation like that to what you had already sensed and experienced, it kind of tells you that there was activity around that man and his daughter. Whether self inflicted or something else may have been done in the house previously that left its mark. That's another one I've heard of. One book I read, probably one of the most frightening books I've read yet called "Haunted" or "The Haunted" (one of those is the true story and more freaky than fiction). Usually that's the way. Truth is stranger than fiction. Absolutely horrifying what happened to this family. They wound up living in a house that was on land which had been used for I think satanic practices. The house was absolutely infested you could say and the goings on were extreme, not subtle.

So extreme, that I believe that even when they would leave to go on Holiday to get away, it would follow them. The stuff they saw in the house was almost beyond imagination. Enough to scare a person to death. Even the neighbours reported goings on when the family were not even in the house. Dreadful stuff. They finally sold the house, but I believe it wasn't quite as easy as that in getting away from it. Not sure how long they suffered with it. The pictures of the family showed a very ordinary family, but the eyes were haunted looking. That look that has seen it all almost. I felt profoundly sorry for them.

anyway, sorry to get back onto that, but it just made me think of it when you mentioned the house! Creepy stuff.
