The Normandy Inn
Details for Neighborhood Surveys (Atlas Number 3004000863) (1969) from Texas Historic Sites Atlas states:
Large three-story frame house with a mansard roof incorporating the third story. The front elevation is L-shaped with an off-center one story porch. The porch wraps around the corner and has simple squared columns and a stick baluster which is repeated to form a balustrade and balcony at the second level. The story bays flank the center of each side of the main body of the building and there is a projecting three-story wing at the back.

"Only one person ever liked living at the Normandy Inn and that was the man who brought Satanism to the island. One week after construction, a young boy threw himself out of the window… AND LIVED. When asked why he did such a thing, he replied, “Something evil was going to kill me”. Now The Normandy Inn has become a pilgrimage site for those who practice voodoo, black magic, Satanism and witch craft. Many sacrificial rituals have taken place here including… A HUMAN! To this day, it is still used as a portal the hell."
