That's great! Good luck with it. It will be nice to soak up the ambience. 
I worked for the temp services for a short while and one of my assignments was an old Victorian house that had been converted to office space. The first day there, I realized it was haunted and it was a weird feeling. It had this old wide staircase and every time I would have to go upstairs, the original owner (I believe) would stand on the landing and glare at me. I actually got so nervous, I tripped and fell on the staircase. No one else noticed it, but when you are psychic, you get into those situations sometimes. I actually left the assignment early as it was too nerve wracking to be feeling these waves of anger.
Tammie, do you know if any of the old gothic writers ever wrote a book on writing one? I couldn't find anything. Any tips on plotting would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure how to proceed to make it not so formulaic. If you ever have a psychic in any of your stories and need some inside insight...please feel free to give me a shout. Jeanne
