Paint it Black


The Caldwell-Hill house is located on Robie Street in Halifax. Near the junction with Jubilee Road. It has some spooky tales concerning its 'black window'. The window is on the side of the house facing Jubilee Road.  
The story I heard was that a woman had been killed in there and after the house was sold, people on the outside could see a ghostly image of a woman inside the home. The house was sold again and the subsequent owners painted the window black so no-one could look in and see a ghost,  but the window cracked; every time it was replaced and painted black, it cracked. So eventually, the glass was removed and boarded up with the board being painted black.
There are a range of stories some involving a man who hung himself on the tree outside and witches dancing on the veranda!
The house is referenced on Wikipedia too.
Every time I drive past it I hum Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones!
