My uncle used to own a house here in the Houston area & I spent the night there SO MANY TIMES as a kid with my cousin.. when I was 14, I woke up & had left the TV on & saw the house on TV with crime scene tape on it. Turned out that the house, prior to my uncle owning it, had been owned by Dean Corll, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Corll) the notorious Houston serial killer. The room that had been soundproofed & used as a torture chamber? Yeah, my cousin's bedroom.
