Kottinger Barn

The trinkets here are expensive but beautiful! I just visited this place again and now that I am a few years older I am able to appreciate the beauty of the aged building. There are cracks on the walls and the shackles and rooftop is very old-​fashioned but that just adds to its charm.
The owners of the shop were so sweet. They offered water and snacks and are just plain genuine. They didn’t put any pressure on us to buy or to leave, even though they were closing up. They seemed more content with people just visiting and gawking at the historical site.
This place is also part of the ghost tour held during Halloween. Yup, there have been many incidents here. Like footsteps on the second floor, objects being moved, stuff like that.
The staircase within the shop gave me a creepy vibe. It is made of old wood and it is narrow. Looking up to the second floor is eerie and uncomfortable. Maybe I felt that way because my friend just told me that the ghosts known to inhibit the Kottinger Barn can be heard walking up and down these very steps. **Shivers** Ohhh ghost stories give me the willys but I love them!
The way the owners set up the back yard is cute. It’s ambiance is old and used and also kind of sad and lonely for it looked like it was abandoned for years. I can imagine the ghost sitting on one of the chairs, looking out of the yard at the changed world…(there goes my imagination again)
