In the music video for ‘Blank Space,’ T-Swift sings about love going down in flames while deer and a very handsome man roam about a grand mansion. Now that mansion seems to have had some flaming problems of its own.
The Winfield Mansion was severely damaged by a fire that started on Jan. 28 and took 150 firefighters two-and-a-half hours to put out. No one is exactly sure how the fire started, but locals think it has something to do with the place being haunted.
The mansion was built in 1916 at Glen Cove on New York’s Long Island by Frank Winfield Woolworth, after his family’s previous home was destroyed by … you guessed it, a fire. And if that’s not eerie enough, the house actually got its reputation for being haunted since the death of Woolworth’s second daughter, whose spirit is thought to have stayed with the home after she committed suicide in 1917. How’s that for creepy?
It looks like singing about love “going down in flames” is a bad idea.
