For the first week of March 2015, North Central West Virginia had a few days of snow storms and I was snowed in with some friends in Fairmont, WV.

As we explored the town the next morning, I loved seeing the heavy wet snow clingning to the trees. We drove by the Ross Funeral home, also known as the High Gate. This Tudor revival mansion was built in 1910-1912 for James E. Watson, son of the "father of the West Virginia coal industry," James O. Watson. James O. Watson was Fairmont industrialist and financier. It later became an event venue and a section is a funeral home.

After we looked at the snow in Fairmont, we made our way back to the road where I grew up near Wyatt, WV. My old neighbor's bright red barn was bright against the snow and the evening light.

Fascinatingly, this barn was also built around 1910, so we managed to experience an interesting contrast between these two drastically different structures.

Doing some research on the Highgate Vampire... does anyone know if David Talbot is based off of David Farrant, the famous member of the British Occult Society? I’m just seeing a lot of parallels between the two, and I’m curious if the Highgate case inspired Anne Rice to create the Talamasca.
