Following is the primary clue for Mystery Location No. 143:



For many years, the old house with its distinctive tower was almost hidden from the prying eyes of those who whispered about its spooks, though, so far as is known, only one person died of unnatural causes on the premises. Then it was purchased by a couple who proceeded to clear the yard and renovate the home so that today, those passing along the narrow, tree-lined street have an unobstructed view of the Queen Anne gem in all its glory. But the stories persist and some say it remains one of the most-haunted places in a city that seems to have a ghost on every corner.



Each day, a new clue will be posted until someone names the location, providing the street address, city and state, as well as the room or apartment number, if applicable, (or province/country if located outside the US) and an explanation as to how each clue applies to the location. If no one correctly names the location, the contest will end at midnight (Eastern time), Saturday, March 16, 2019. Please note, the contest ends at midnight in the Eastern Time Zone. If you live in a different time zone, please make adjustments so you will know what time it ends where you are.



You may discuss the location with other members by posting your comments using the “reply” option, but please do not attempt to name the location until you are absolutely certain of your answer and able to post the street address, city, state, etc., along with a photo, or link to a photo, of the Location.



For those of you who remember our old Mystery Locations contest, the point system has changed. Now, if you name the location on the first day, i.e., Sunday, before midnight (ET), you will receive 7 points. Thereafter, the points will depend on the number of clues that have been provided when you name the Location as indicated below. If you name the Location after the first clue, you will receive 6 points, etc., as indicated below. However, after the Sixth (last clue) is provided on Saturday, you must name the location before midnight (EST) Saturday night. Upon accumulation of sufficient points, winners may choose an item from our Prize List .



Sunday (or before First Clue is provided) - 7 points

First Clue (Monday) - 6 points

Second Clue (Tuesday) - 5 points

Third Clue (Wednesday) - 4 points

Fourth Clue (Thursday) - 3 points

Fifth Clue (Friday) - 2 points

Sixth Clue (Saturday before midnight) - 1 point



If you wish, you may collaborate with another member and if the two of you win, points will be divided between the two of you.



This contest is meant to be fun, so, as before, we ask that you conduct yourself accordingly. To prevent any accusations of favoritism, Steve has been advised of the name and address of the Location and will not be participating in this week’s contest.
