Peeping at 'The Spook House', Rondebosch

'Jac Loopuyt House, also known as The Ghost House of Rondebosch, is a picturesque Edwardian residence nicknamed "The Spook House". It is rumoured that a strange cult resided there in the 1970’s and there are stories of doors being opened and closed inexplicably and a transparent elderly man wandering around.'

A new week, also a transition week back to Johannesburg from Cape Town and so a quick last walk between sorting out the flat and getting organised.

I had noticed a wonderful old Edwardian home along Milner Road on a previous walk so decided to go back and peep through the imposing gold and black metal gates to get a few photos.

Nothing spooky at all to me but I am amused that it's history is checkered and the house has quite the reputation here in Cape Town.
