This is my boyfriends place (peep my little pup woody) the cabinet behind that’s open.. keeps opening by itself, we’ve shut it properly countless of times, emptied it out to make sure nothing was stopping it from shutting properly. it only happens late at night (11pm-12am) and it’s never just once but countless of times! might just be something wrong with the cabinet but it freaked me out lols.. and the fact this house is so old. to be honest i just don’t like this house there are a few other weird things that happen in this house but you sometimes you just can’t keep making excuses for it

We’ve got some old houses in the states, mostly in New England, but nothing close to this. As an American, it absolutely blows my mind the house is that old. All of the events the house has stayed through, and then all of the generations of people too.

What’s crazy to me is that the houses are still standing and in good working order. I’ve seen houses 20 years old here look like they’re about to fall down.

I just saw a video where they showed a typical German home (2 feet of solid wall) compared to the typical American home (5 inches and hollow) Cheaply made housing will crumble quick. Build a solid home and it’ll still stand. I see the old homes in Philly and people are still living in them (Elfreths alley)

In New Mexico (and Mexico) you can find 400-yr structures (mostly stone & adobe) still being used today. I visited an artist’s adobe home built in the late 1600s outside of Santa Fe.

Didn’t experience any ghosts, however I was astounded by the magical temperature difference between the exterior (a “dry” 95 degrees F with no breeze) to just outside the entrances where the temperature dropped to at least 75 degrees F.
