Famous School House from ‘The Birds’ is Actually a Haunted Home

There are photos of the house on the original HuffPo story linked below the quote. 🙂 It’s a lovely home.

It’s safe to say some of the scariest scenes from Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” took place at the Potter School House in California. But we bet you didn’t know that ever since 1963, this once abandoned spot has mostly remained a private residence. 

Our friends at California Home & Design explored the house, which now belongs to Leah Taylor.

But perhaps the most unusual experience was when one morning Taylor and her family heard, but could not see, someone screaming “it’s Sunday morning!”
