Old Courthouse

Old Courthouse (Portsmouth, Virginia)

The ashbug advises a visit to the Old Courthouse: “Visit Portsmouth, Virginia if you get a chance. There’s an old courthouse on Court Street (how original our ancestors were), complete with the ghost of a wrongly-accused criminal. It’s a cliche, I know, but it’s a tingly-good place. Even on hot days the courtyard is usually cool. Trinity Church is across the street, full of morbid tidbits.”

About Comtesse DeSpair

The Comtesse DeSpair sits in sullen silence in The Castle DeSpair, obsessively reflecting upon the horrible void in which we exist. In her spare time (of which she has nothing but), she collects morbid trinkets and reads voraciously about the history of torture. She stores her trinkets in The Asylum Eclectica (http://asylumeclectica.com/). The Comtesse is hideously disfigured and thickly veiled at all hours. Once, an unfortunate servant caught a glimpse beneath the veil and was driven to madness. The Comtesse loves thunderstorms, darkness, and solitude.
