The Devil Queen

How my wife and I sold our souls to the Queen Anne Victorian we tried to save.

About Me

Name:
Location: Crow Mountain, Arkansas, United States


Synopsis: This is a cautionary tale. A seriously disturbed couple find the charming, old ruin of a Queen Anne Victorian in Russellville, Arkansas, and buy it for $1.00. They tore the roof off, cut it in half, and had it moved to some land they owned sixteen miles away because they didn't know any better. Since then, they have hired and fired contractors, had all of their tools stolen, re-wired, re-plumbed, insulated, and essentially rebuilt the entire house. Their only problem is that after four years it still isn't finished. Now they are tired, broke, and wonder what in the hell it is they've done to themselves. And, it's haunted.

Words of Wisdom


"If you want to learn how to build a house, build a house. Don't ask anybody, just build a house."
- Christopher Walken

I stumbled across this yesterday. It rang true so I decided to include it here. Having learned from experience, I would caution you that this approach lends itself to the School of Hard Knocks Approach to life. A lot of it sucks, but, if you survive, you’ll definitely know what you’re doing (or what NOT to do at least).
