Horrifying photo, I know.
When you've lived in as many houses as I have, (27 at my last count) you start to remember each one by some small identifying detail and not much else. The house before this one, just a rental between house closings, was a nice home in a quiet subdivision. But it had one big issue....WOLF SPIDERS! They stayed mostly in the basement but a few of them made it upstairs and also into the foyer. Even after a few professional insecticide sprays, I was terrified in that house and had many a stare down with one of the ugly creatures as we passed in the hall. We've called it the Spider House ever since and I even wrote a 'Spider Room' into one of my novels I was working on there.
What's something memorable about a house you lived in before? Creatures? Strange neighbors? Bad conditions? Barking dogs?
