Haunted Rooflines: America’s Most Infamous Homes
Every shingle tells a story—some whisper history, others echo hauntings. This Spooktober, RoofScope zoomed in on three of the eeriest rooftops in America. From Salem’s gables to San Diego’s haunted halls, these roofs hold more than secrets in their rafters.
The House of the Seven Gables
Steeped in shadow and storytelling, this 17th-century masterpiece inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne’s gothic tale. With seven sharp gables and angles that could make a carpenter cry, it’s equal parts museum, mystery, and architectural riddle.
Fun fact: Beneath all that literary legacy lies a roofline so intricate, even our CAD technicians raised an eyebrow.
Peek at the RoofScope report—if you dare.
The Whaley House
Frequently named among America’s most haunted homes, the Whaley House has more chills than a foggy San Diego night. But beneath the ghost stories lies a perfectly preserved example of early California architecture—with a roofline that’s as sturdy as it is spooky.
Rumor has it: even our laser scans picked up a few “cold spots.”

The Lemp Mansion
Elegant yet eerie, the Lemp Mansion’s Victorian architecture hides more than ornate moldings. Its dormers, hips, and intersecting ridges tell a story of craftsmanship—and perhaps a few restless spirits of the Lemp family, too.
