| The Gothic architecture of Rockwood Mansion sometimes yields a strange vortex above it at night |
However, the real haunt of this Gothic mansion is the spiral or vortex that appears above the structure at night. Supposedly, if you closely examine pictures of the misty vortex, you can make out human faces and apparitions. This strange phenomenon is called "The vortex of souls".
I can't understand why Mary never married? Such a breathtakingly beautiful woman. They don't make them like this anymore! Such loveliness is not created today. What type of woman was she? What did she like? Her education? How did she spend her time, etc. I'm taken by the warmth of her eyes. I would loved to have sought permission from her parents to court her. Helplessly lost in the beauty of this angel called Mary Thomas Bringhurst.
ReplyDeleteShe resembles Julia Roberts. Maybe they should make a movie about it
