The Old Weeks House

You are here Home  > Historical Buildings >  The Old Weeks House

An old house with quite a lot of colorful “history”… Among other things, locals say that when the house was unoccupied, strange candle lights would appear in the windows, moving slowly from side to side.

Check out these snippets from a 2006 article by the Tampa Bay Times:

Local lore has it that in the 1930s a man showed up and convinced the Weekses to let him rip apart the fireplace because he was sure Gordy had hid his fortune behind the bricks. He found nothing and left town.

The place sat mostly vacant in the ’70s and ’80s. Vagrants stayed there at night and used candles and matches to spark their cigarettes. People walking by would get spooked by the flickering lights.

One owner in the late ’80s and ’90s bought the property and kept it for 13 years just so he could dig up the yard and rip open the walls looking for treasure. The man found arrowheads, rusted keys in old-time shapes, a nickel from 1890 and a quarter from 1892. He told a reporter from the Times in 1995 that his heart went “pitter-patter” when he found something good and how digging in the ground made him feel like a part of the past.

  3. My mom owned that house in the early 2000 and I remember when we went to go look at the house when it eat still for sale we were upstairs and I was in the small room with the bathroom, every hair on my body stood up. I asked the realitor what happened in that room and she stated a baby feel out of the window and died.
    You can still hear a baby cry and footsteps down the hall.
    Keys would be missing and once found behind a door.
    In the room at the top of the stairs a rocking chair could be heard and a imprint of someone laying on the bed.
    I remember the video camera turning on when it was on a end table next to me.
    That house was amazing and was fun. Never did we feel scared.
