You go sit in the corner - mommy, mommy I can't...

You have all probably heard those weird and mostly sick jokes. Well here is a real story, weird too.

If you are from around Stickney, you probably already know about the "House with no corners". The Stickney House (AKA Stickney Mansion) was built in 1836 by George and Sylvia Stickney who were followers of a form of Spiritualism which maintained that corners could trap evil spirits and even attract them leading to catastrophic ends. To avoid this, they built a house with no corners. Actually, it proved impossible to build the whole house without corners, but the Stickney's tried to make it a round as possible. Sadly, they found George dead in one of the few corners in the house with a terrified look on his face.
