Almost certainly it is different functionally, even if they kept the facade. By now, the north and south wings would have been sold off as condos, there would be at least one Starbucks in the entrance hall, the servants’ quarters would have been converted into a trendy restaurant, and the wine cellar would have been packed with servers and would be busily mining bitcoins.
No, she is going to go prepared, she just doesn’t want pre-conceived (well, more than she already has) notions about the building, that way leads to dismissing important clues
I’m waiting for the great reveal where we find it has been turned into a starbucks and the ghosts are actually patrons who have drunk 100 cups of coffee and been turned into beings of energy… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqd-_fHdTyA
Barbara: “We should not expect the mansion to still look entirely like the 60s photo. From 1971-1993, the mansion came under different ownership. Some billionaire attempting to compete with Hugh Heppner in lifestyle and status symbols, before running out of money and reselling it back to my family at a big loss. My parents made me promise not to bring any black lights, but would not explain why…”
When someone says “must reveal,” it’ll behoove you to listen.
Does anybody around here have hooves?
Oh boy… I’m betting it DOESN’T look like that now… some almost 70 years later.

Interesting maths, you got there. It’d be almost 60 years, unless this is now set in the late 2020s.
It’s been about 50 years since the late 1960’s. (Ask me how I know! Go ahead! Guess!)
happy birthday to you… mine is almost mid 60’s (bout a week off the middle..)
Happy happy birthwotsit. Mines in a few days. Early 1960s
Two words…HAUNTED MANSION!!!
So, “the Freak House” now?
Can you give a more precise date, Barbara? ‘Cause it looks like piles of snow in front of it, must be winter or early spring.
Wonder who her “grandaunt” is? Somebody we know, I’d wager. Phix? There is a resemblance. (Then again, lots of characters resemble Phix.)
Aphrodite, perhaps? I think Castela mentioned it when she was infodumping on Daylla a few strips ago.
Nah, it’s her friend Mindy that’s related to Aphrodite. IIRC, she’s her granddaughter.
So it’s not just that Castella rushes into these situations unprepared…
…she does so deliberately.
Ugh.
No, she is going to go prepared, she just doesn’t want pre-conceived (well, more than she already has) notions about the building, that way leads to dismissing important clues
Wait, ‘grandaunt’? Have never heard that term before, only ‘great-aunt’ (your grandparents’ sibling is a great-aunt or great-uncle)
I suppose, while Grand, she wasn’t Great…
