I had recently moved out of the city after being left my grandparents rather large country house. I guess they just wanted me to stay there while I was at university instead of paying for a flat for a few years. The trip to and from the city itself was long but I certainly didn’t mind free lodging, being a poor student and all. The house itself was very old, mostly made of old bricks and hardwood. It honestly seemed like something out of harry potter and I was extremely excited to see how I could decorate the place. Although I have to admit it was also pretty creepy, the thought of living there by myself didn’t seem amazing considering how big of a scaredy cat I am. The sprawling, ancient forest the surrounded the house on all sides certainly didn’t help. Little did I know at the time, but I was certainly not alone either.
Moving in was pretty easy considering I only had the basic necessities and pretty much all my stuff fit into my chosen room. The place was left in disrepair but that was fine, it could be my project over summer while I waited for classes to start back up in the winter. The furniture was as old as the house plus the amount of dust I had found everywhere didn’t help with the “old and creepy” look. Whatever, it was free.
