Guillotine In The House
In a small town in Pennsylvania, a newly married couple just purchased their first home. The house was built in the late 1700's; in 1805 a guillotine maker by the name of Zachariah Shippen purchased the house for $25. He was said to have murdered over 500 newly married couples before he was gunned down in the upstairs den by 3 officers of the law. All 3 officers disappeared the next day and there is no records of them being found up to this day.
The house was remodeled by Mr. Shippen in 1805. It still looks as good today as it did in the 1800's.
The story is told that the house has never been takin' care of or even painted for over 200 years. But the yard is always mowed. By whom no one knows. There has been nobody on the property for many many years. And the house is always freshly painted.
Kind of weird, but this is the story of a newly married couple that purchased the house in October 1999 and moved in one year later, in October 2000.
The day was October 30th of the year 2000. Matthew was an antique dealer from Florida. Ever since he moved to Pennsylvania, and heard what happened in this house, he has been trying to purchase a Guillotine for his cellar. He thought he could turn the cellar into a money maker, by having tourists pay addmision.
Well about 5:00 pm a truck pulled into the drive-way, on the side it read ancient Shippen World Antiques. Matthew couldn't recall ever purchasing anything from this company. The man knocked on the door. He had those evil eyes that made
children shiver with fear. He said hello sir, my names Zach. Heard you were looking for a Guillotine. Well I have one here that dates all the way back to 1805. Matthew asked how much? The old man said I can sell it to you for 50 thousand dollars. Matthew thought awhile and said o.k. Then he said sir will you take a check? Zach said yes sir, if it's no good I know where to find you. Then he chuckled in a low deathly voice.
The guillotine that was delivered was made of solid oak, with a solid silverblade. Matthew thought wow, never thought I'd find something like this and so cheap. He signed the delivery sheet and the man just smiled and said have a great night sir....
Late that night when Matthew and his wife Jillian was sleeping they heard scratching and screeches coming from the cellar.
Matthew said to Jillian, tomorrow I'll have to buy some mouse traps. Then all of a sudden a soft white light appeared in their bedroom..Matthew said damn I really need my rest. he asked Jillian if she seen that..She said, seen what? About an hour went by and Matthew was awakend to the sound of creaking stairs, then the board in the hallway creeked.
Matthew jumped to his feet, grabbed his 45 and headed to the door.....
As he entered the hallway, he seen nothing, just then a cold chill blew across the floor.
Matthew thought that there was a board loose on the outside wall of the house sending air into the hallway. Just then, an image appeared, and Matthew walked right through it.
He thought, what the hell? Then the the image disappeared. When Matthew entered his bedroom, a weird feeling moved all over his body, Jillian asked if everything was ok. But Matthew didn't answer her. He just crawled into bed and turned out the light.
About 4:00 in the morning, Jillian woke, and seen Matthew staring at her from the corner rocking chair. She said Matthew what's wrong? Still Matthew remained quiet. She said Matthew you're scaring me. Then all of a sudden he jumped to his feet and said my dear, I need you to see something I bought.
Jillian got out of bed, and followed Matthew to the cellar. She said what is it darling? Then he gazed into her eyes with a strange look on his face. He said woman! I want you to lay down here on this guillotine and look up at the blade. She said I will not. Matthew said go ahead that's how you can really see the beauty in that silver blade. Jillian said Matthew you're crazy!
Just then his eyes turned completely red, he grabbed herand in a deep scary voice he said, JILLIAN, TONIGHT YOU AND I BECOME ONE! She tried to run, but
Matthew was just to strong for her. And as he held her down on the Guillotine, he crawled on and laid right down right beside her.
Then all at once there was a click, and the Silver blade came falling down. Both Matthew's and Jillian's heads were severed from there bodies.
Within about 10 minutes, Zach, the man that delivered the Guillotine entered the cellar. He loaded the guillotine back onto the truck.
And as he was leaving.
Zach turned back to the house..... and said..... thank you my friend!
