A few notesSwannanoa does exist, and its history is as I have stated in the story. Wikipedia has a good article on it here, and there are other articles about it online. Check it out for yourself.
I've been there a few times now- it's kinda sad and creepy there. The caretaker's cottage is a nice little stone house off to one side, and the tower exists as I described- but it's not open inside, as it's actually a water tower supplying the house and the grounds. There's an enormous tank within, with a spiral staircase winding around it like a corkscrew.
The Dooleys existed, of course, but all of the other characters in the story are merely products of my own twisted imagination. And no, as far as I know there was never actually a murder there.
Sure would be a great place for one, though.
