Giltner house

This is spooky.  A woman writing a book about Michigan hauntings recently contacted me since she found out my family had once resided in the above Tudor. The house was built for an MSU dean in 1924 and his 25 year-old daughter was shot there five times to death by her jealous best friend. The two were apparently licking invitations on a day leading up to her (Elizabeth Giltner) wedding. Of course my family discovered this house's quaint little history after they moved in. So this author forwarded me a ghastly old New York Times PDF article dated Dec.9, 1936:

"I did it on an impulse and don't know why," Lieutenant Mulbar quoted Miss Morgan as saying. "For about a year I've had a frequent impulse to kill. I shot Elizabeth with my father's pistol." 

...

"She is definitely insane and shows no signs of remorse. She would do the same thing tomorrow if she had the chance."   

The killer, Miss Morgan, was hauled off to Detroit where she hung herself in her jail cell.  Needless to say my folks didn't last more than three years in that place. I lived there for less than a year during my transition from undergrad to grad school, and I have no desire to ever find out what room in which the crime took place.
