Shannon Zroback sent me the following information about this old abandoned house:

I am not exactly sure what town this house is in but I do know that is somewhere near the town of Fuquay-Varina . A friend and I found it one day when we were out looking for old cemeteries and decided to check it out. We have been back many times since. The house is falling apart (as you can tell from pics) but the yard is very well maintained. The house is full of furniture (there are even towels hanging on the wall in the bathroom) It look like it may have been a plantation home, I am sure that it was a very beautiful home at one time. The last time we were there we talked to a neighbor and he said that no one has lived in the home the whole time that he and his wife have lived next door (over 30 years) and that the owners will NOT go in the home, they only come to cut the grass and that is all. I personally find it strange that they left everything there and locked up the house (doors are locked with pad locks or have furniture pushed against them) What I think happened was that either something horrible happened there and the family no longer wanted to live there and didn't want anything to remind them of what happened so they just up and left and didn't take anything with them. OR that the house is haunted and the haunting got to be so bad that the family fled with out taking their belongings and they will no go back in the house even long enough to get their things. Everything in the house looks to be from the 60's or 70's. I personally think that the home is haunted, I get a very eerie felling every time we are there and have felt like I am being watched. Who know why the home is abandoned or why the family refuses to go back there but for some reason I feel drawn to this house.

In February 2007 I received an e-mail from Ronnie McCoy with an observation regarding one of Shannon's photos:

My buddy blew up a picture of the house in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina...in the left hand corner window there is a girl holding a puppy.
