EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Exorcists House" in Kings Lynn, West Norfolk, dating back to 1942. Located on Chapel Lane, this historic cottage holds a chilling tale from the 17th century. Legend has it that a priest once resided here and conducted exorcisms within the parish, making it an eerie site steeped in supernatural history. From the vantage point of St Nicholas Chapel's churchyard, one can see The Exorcists House standing tall with its distinctive Dutch gable architecture. Its dark silhouette against the sky creates an atmosphere that sends shivers down your spine. Over time, this haunted dwelling underwent changes; its address was altered from number 8 to number 7 Chapel Lane during the latter part of the 20th century. Despite these modifications, the house still exudes an unsettling aura that lingers in every corner. Photographer George Bernard Mason skillfully captured this image without any commercial intent but rather as a testament to England's rich historical heritage. His lens immortalizes not only architectural details like the haunting gable but also preserves stories of priests performing exorcisms and tales of ghostly encounters within these very walls. "The Exorcists House" print serves as a reminder of our fascination with all things spooky and mysterious. It invites us to ponder upon centuries-old legends while appreciating the craftsmanship and beauty found even in places tinged with darkness.
