PC Collins looked in through wrong window to see Ralph's body

i would though, out of curiosity, like to go to whf, even just to see which room is where.

Hartley did offer to give a virtual tour of the house, which would be the next best thing. I struggle with working out the upstairs layout.

[H]

so did the house stand empty for five years?

Two cats lived there and the office was used, then the owners decided to sell it as a murder theme bed & breakie, the Eatons agreed with the owners (a charity by the way) that they would move in to stop it from happening.

I will add that, that is what I've been told, I do not have proof, so it's just hearsay I guess.

I must admit, Harts, that I have read that the Eatons moved in much quicker than that - the children were still young enough to have nightmares, apparently?

[andrea]

yes i read that too, also i heard that sheilas ghost was supposedly haunting them ,telling them to find out the truth of what happened.

As we've said before, it's a lovely house, and the land has to be farmed, but personally, I wouldn't even be able to spend one night in there.

when was the inspector wexford thing filmed?

diane keen actually went to whf to meet with anne eaton.

[tyler]

Wonder if the Eatons got paid for allowing tv cameras into the farmhouse for documentries and the like?

[andrea]

i would have thought so, my friends house was used on "this is personal" about the yorkshire ripper, she was paid for that.

That's right. And the kitchen light fitting, broken on the night, hadn't been replaced. Apparently because "it was an antique, and hard to find." That has always troubled me.

[andrea]

what troubled you about it shona? or is it something you cant quite put your finger on? im like that sometimes.

[tyler]

Its almost as if AE wanted to keep the house like a shrine somehow.That is creepy.I wouldnt live there even if I was paid to,but if I did,I would want to remove every last trace of the murders.Completely redecorate the place.I can imagine it still looks pretty much the same today as it did back then.

Exactly. That broken light fitting, that they must have sat under, eaten under, seen every day would be a constant reminder of the terrible things that happened on that night.

This is not a comment on the actual murders. The Eatons must be made of sterner stuff than me.

[andrea]

yes i would have just put any light shade on it, rather than keep it as it was from when the shootings took place.

I'm guessing that the house is listed, but to live there in peace you would have to change as much of it as possible. If, indeed, you had to live there. If it was me, I'd put a manager in and never go there again.
