Hi. Well i went to this site called http://www.lonestarspirits.org/haunthouston.html and found somethin about this Pagan Church. It Says
-First Pagan Church of Houston

[903 Welch St. For years this lovely house was reputed to be the scene of animal sacrifices. In 1974 the cult inhabiting it was evicted. During the subsequent renovation, one worker was struck by an unseen force, another had strange recurring nightmares, and others walked off the job because they were "spooked". Note: The cult mentioned above was not connected in any way to any known religion, polytheistic or otherwise, to the best of our knowledge. The reputed activities mentioned have no place in Wicca or any other pagan faith that Lone Star Spirits is aware of. The primary rule of Wicca (the Wiccan Rede) is, "An ye harm none, do as thou wilt," Meaning you cannot cause harm to anything-person, animal, plant, Earth.]

Well since i live like 5 minutes away from it i went today in my bycicle with a friend and took some pictures of the house. Here are the pictures I took.

I'm guessing more than animals were sacrificed.

I've never understood the label of 'pagan' attached to anything activities concerned with 'black arts'...

the translation of Pagan simply means 'Rural' and was the name given to individuals who lived outside of town centres in the Roman Christian period, more so in Gaul and Britannia.

The association with demonology was attributed to the name after the Creation of the Catholic Church in the early Medieval period.

Yes...this would be my first and premier question. Is it occupied, and by whom? Do they sleep at night? Do the walls bleed? Are there disembodied voices? Unexplanable drafts? Rapping? Tapping? Scratching? Moans and groans? Is anyone being levitated in their sleep? Do the lights flick on and off on their own? Peculiar smells? Stinches? Full bodied apparitions?

Yeah...I'd have some questions.

That place is a money pit. Old clapboard home like that? Character? Yes. Headache? Major! You know how these gateways to hell can be.

Especially in a hot, humid location like Houston. Just imagine the rot in a stick home like that.
