Recently, NOGHOST conducted an investigation at the famous McGutty Murder House. That episode will go live on Wednesday, but as a primer, we’ve reprinted portions of the “McGutty House” official brochure. We think it’s official, since it’s the only one we could find. Our scanner was busted, so we just copied this stuff on our blog. Reprinted with permission. At least, we think so: it was a brochure, why wouldn’t they let us reprint it?
In 2003, Jim McGutty murdered his entire family. He shot his wife and two daughters with a .32 caliber shotgun. Now you can walk through the house for affordable rates!
Travel back to the magical land of 2003, to see how we lived then. Our historic tours are perfect for couples, or honeymoons. Why go to Cancun, or Hawaii? Have a honeymoon that you’ll be talking about for a long time.
Should you make it out! Mwa ha ha!
Kids love it, too! Kids today, too much time with video games, and going outside. Teach them something about history, and about their local, somewhere-in-the-valley heritage.
