You know, there was a one in the basement that was terrifying.

And I'm pretty sure I know what happened to him because I'm pretty sure he followed me home.

I'm Alyssa, and I'm Hadley.

We're two interior design editors obsessed with the paranormal.

This Halloween, we're stepping away from the beautiful homes we usually write about to tell a different kind of story.

From cursed cottages to abandoned estates, we're uncovering the twisted histories of America's most notorious homes.

So lock your doors and leave the lights on.

This is Dark House.

Hello and welcome to the final week of Dark House.

I'm Alyssa and I am here with my co-host Hadley and we have one last house to share with you guys.

Now usually this is the part where I would make Hadley, and we have one last house to share with you guys. Now, usually,

this is the part where I would make Hadley guess which house I picked, but I accidentally spilled the beans to Hadley the other day. So she already knows that today we're talking about

the S.K. Pierce Mansion in Gardner, Massachusetts. I knew one of us was going to slip eventually

and tell the other person at some point.

There was just no way we were going to go through this whole thing without needing to ask for a favor or something with the research.

But I'm glad it was you and not me.

Okay, yeah.

So like that was my B, but I also just feel like I deserve some credit because I made it three whole weeks without that happening.

So that has to count for something.

True. Anyways, we've has to count for something. True.

Anyways, we've been to the West Coast, we've been to the Midwest, we've been down south, so it is time that we finally go to the spookiest state in the country, Massachusetts.

And personally, I feel like I saved the best for last. And I'm not just saying that. It's so haunted. I won't even be able to tell you everything that's happened there, but what I'm going to tell you, we'll probably keep you up for, like, the rest of the year.
