Yes, houses have a soul. The one given to them by humans, for better or for worse. Behind their walls, they hide all secrets, all follies. Jérôme Equer has brought together thirteen mind-blowing stories for us, defying the imagination. Like that of Sarah Winchester, the gunsmith's widow, to whom a seer had predicted she would die if she stopped building her home, and who had an absurd 750-room palace built day and night. Or that of Mathilde de Grammont, who lived for thirty years alongside her walled-up lover. Disappearances, mysteries, crimes are all part of this exciting work. What people experience is always more extraordinary than what they invent.
