The Donnelly Homestead

The Donnelly Homestead (Lucan, Ontario, Canada)

In the early hours of February, 4, 1880, five members of The Donnelly family met their bloody demise at the hands of their neighbors. Since that time, a mythology of sorts has sprung up about the Donnellys in Canada. Go to the site where the massacre occurred, visit the Donnelly’s graves nearby, and hear all about a great Canadian tragedy. Check out the wonderful Official Donnelly Homepage too, while you’re here.

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.
