Witch Bay
Posted By: Martin_Qc, 10-12-2009, 01:44 PM

Last weekend, we (the whole little family) took a ride on the country roads for the autumn Festival of colors in the Eastern townships (Québec).

After a couple hours drive, we fell in a little town named Fitch Bay, near the Memphrémagog Lake.

There is a legend that lives in this little country town that states there is a haunted house. Well, it's on that house that we fell upon.



The house, as you can see, is just plain gorgeous. Colors are beautiful and a lot of details runs on that house.....and I do mean LOTS of little details.

View from the entrance on the main road, North side of the house:



View from the main entrance, West side of the house:



Gargoyles on the steps of the two main doors:


And when I was talking about details, here are some examples.
The tower, with interesting woodwork and a huge wind vane witch:



Another example of the woodwork details on the edge of the roofs, even the lamps are custom made with some figurines on top of the doors:


And finally, the road we took to get there, with the beautiful autumn colors. Perfect for a car enthousiast like me



Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed beeing there and taking those pictures

Yup, exactly.

The house is in fact a museum but the legend states that it was built on the exact same location where an indian witch was hanged in 1800. She is supposed to roam the surroundings since then
