      The lady painting looks like she herself is in watercolors. It was a crisp mostly sunny day, but I didn’t do anything to it to make it look weird. But it kinda does look weird. Can’t put my finger on it

        Assuming you used a smart phone, it’ll likely be your camera’s “smart” post-processing that did it

        I’ve got some pictures of a city hall that looks almost fake because of how the building is coloured… Not exactly the same as this because that one looked like it had outlines but it’s still a weird effect.

        It’s probably because there is something out of frame that is reflecting light perpendicular to the sun. Look at the trim on both porch roofs to the far left and compare it to the porch farther right just below the spire; they should be the same shadow intensity but the left one is noticably brighter. Plus its rare to see such a bright roof with dark trim in real life which adds to the uncanniness.

          Yeah, this guy gets a fresh paint job every other year, it seems. I kinda like the colors, but definitely unusual. When Peter Norton bought it 1991 he meticulously had it restored- only to have it burn down shortly after. So, he built it again. Nice to have $$$$

      Looks like an architectural render to me that someone has ai’d some grass and plants on. It’s definitely odd. Cool house though.

    This house looks like it’s ready for a ghost but nobody has died in it yet.

        If people aren’t already calling it haunted then I’m gonna go ahead and say those are some lazy ass ghosts.

      Was wondering what you meant by that until I zoomed it a bit on the picture and realized it’s literally written on the stairs.

        People will literally just wander up to, and even go inside, this house all the time. Tourists think it’s a hotel or sightseeing stop. It’s just a rich computer guys home 😂
