The Actual House of the Seven Gables is a mansion located in Salem, Massachusetts. It is said to be haunted. The tale behind the house's is an accusation of witchcraft. The first owner of the house accused a man of witchcraft and that man put a curse on him. Later at the house the accuser died of sudden death, it is a mystery how he died.
The people that owned the house were the Pyncheons. Once Colonel Pyncheon died, Mrs. Hepzibah Pyncheon,his wife, was the owner. They were first known because of the ranks they held in the town. After Maule was hanged, or whatever way he was sentenced to death, for witchcraft that he never committed, the Pyncheons were known for an evil accusation.
Colonel Pyncheon had accused Maule of witchcraft just so that the land would of had to be put up of for sale. Then he would buy it, it was a greedy and really inhumane thing to do. I would never kill anyone even for like a million dollars..Maybe a million and one dollars, but still noo. Maule was well known and very respected so it was a strange thing once he died. So of course people noticed why Colonel Pyncheon accused him for it. The towns people lost respect for him and for the rest of the Pyncheons.
The family was however cursed so there was some type of revenge. It was said to be haunted for 200 hundred years. The people who bought the house also were disliked and frowned upon for not returning the property. They never did the right thing. The house is a huge mansion that still stands today. It is now some kind of museum. I'd like to go as a field trip..:) However it's kind of far and probably "costy" so never mind. Still it would be fun!!
