Blackmier House  

Blackmier house was once a grand estate home to the Granville family for over 300 years. It was built in 1665 for John Granville, part of the court to Charles II, and it grew into a happy place for all those that lived there until 1880. Since then it has been uninhabitable as everyone who steps foot in the place has had an uneasy and unwelcome feeling - some even reporting to feel a deep sadness and overwhelming anger. On particularly foggy nights in the autumn some have reported spotting a figure staring out of the window as if waiting for someone.

Lady Anne Granville was wife to Lord Thomas Granville, the 5th Earl and heir to the estate. Thomas was away from the house a lot which didn’t help his terminal jealousy. Anne was a beautiful woman and that was her crime: being noticeable. Because of this she had many rumours spread about her. One rumour was that she had taken a lover in her husbands absence and it was suggested it was one of the household staff. This rumour circulated until it got back to Thomas himself - driven mad with anger he returned to the estate to confront his wife. Anne denied the claims (of course she was innocent of all accusations and was a victim of gossip) but her husband did not believe her. He locked her in the high tower and had the stairs removed so she could not leave. She was chained to the wall with little room and no food or water. All portraits of Anne were damaged or removed.

Staff had begun to question the lady’s disappearance, especially as wailing and banging could be heard near the front of the house. One day a maid spotted Anne’s necklace hanging off of a bush underneath the tower - looking up she saw a hole was in one of the windows. Confirming her suspicions she contacted the law and they investigated Blackmier house and discovered Lady Anne Granville’s decayed body up in the tower. Thomas Granville was stripped of his title and imprisoned, the house has not been habited since. The fate of Anne’s “lover” is unknown.

Any visitors to Blackmier house have reported seeing a white lady, she appears looking out of the window at the front of the house. She has also been spotted in the upstairs bedrooms, appearing behind people as they look in the mirror. The sound of ghostly piano can be heard from the downstairs music room and when investigated a figure of a woman playing is seen before she slowly fades away.

Probably the most prominent phenomenon is the smell of rotting flesh and crying which can be smelt and heard directly underneath the large tower that stands looming over the estate.

People have also reported feeling trapped and angry at others for no reason.

A tragic story awaits all those that delve into the history of Blackmier house. Are your Sims brave enough to uncover the mystery and restore this place to its former glory?
