Second Clue: misnamed state
_______
First Clue: missing heirs
_______
Following is the primary clue for Mystery Location No. 30:
The mansion on the hill is built in what some consider the classic “haunted house” style and, indeed, it is said to be haunted. Four family members are buried on the grounds, but, so far as is known, only one refuses to rest in peace. To this day, there are reports of doors and windows that open and close of their own accord, cold spots and other run-of-the-mill paranormal phenomena for which there could be logical explanations ... but some have encountered the apparition of the former owner in what was once his bedroom and others have seen him walking the corridors at night.
Each day, a new clue will be posted until someone names the location, providing the street address, city and state (or province/country if located outside the US) and an explanation as to how each clue applies to the location. If no one correctly names the location, the contest will end at midnight (Eastern time), Saturday, December 24, 2016. Please note, the contest ends at midnight in the Eastern Time Zone. If you live in a different time zone, please make adjustments so you will know what time it ends where you are.
You may discuss the location with other members by posting your comments using the "reply" option, but please do not attempt to name the location until you are absolutely certain of your answer and able to post the street address, city, state, etc., along with a photo, or link to a photo, of the Location.
For those of you who remember our old Mystery Locations contest, the point system has changed. Now, if you name the location on the first day, i.e., Sunday, before midnight (ET), you will receive 7 points. Thereafter, the points will depend on the day you name the Location as indicated below. (Again, please note, each day ends at midnight in the Eastern Time Zone, so if you live, for example, in Mississippi, and you name the location at 11:30 p.m., Wednesday, you will receive 3 points because 11:30 p.m. in Mississippi is 12:30 a.m. Eastern Time.)
Sunday - 7 points
Monday - 6 points
Tuesday - 5 points
Wednesday - 4 points
Thursday - 3 points
Friday - 2 points
Saturday - 1 point
If you wish, you may collaborate with another member and if the two of you win, points will be divided between the two of you.
This contest is meant to be fun, so, as before, we ask that you conduct yourself accordingly. To prevent any accusations of favoritism, Steve has been advised of the name and address of the Location and will not be participating in this week's contest.
If you have any questions or comments, please reply.
