The now well-known Bailey Mansion actually inspired the first season house featured in FX’s first season of “American Horror Story.” While the show’s setting was Los Angeles, California, the real Bailey House a.k.a. “the murder house”–is situated in Hartford, Connecticut.
This haunted house constructed in 1899 was located in Mckeesport, Pennsylvania. It caved in a day after it was photographed. Lawless said: “It’s truly frightening and it still gives me chills thinking about it.” He was quick to add that “the creepiest mansion I visited was filled with mannequin heads neatly displayed on shelves along with old rusted medical tools.”
