Many have seen it, and even more have stopped to take a photograph but few knew about its history.

The crumbling and empty Guyitt house is a spooky but stunning site tucked away at the end of the historical Talbot Trail.

And a day after CBC Windsor shared the story of the home, you sent us dozens of photos and shared your memories of the beautiful structure.

Peter Anderson owns the property. Hisgrandparents, Roy and Ethel Guyitt, bought the homein 1908. At that time, it was already 50 years old.

Although Anderson can't keep up the home, he keeps the lawn mowed and watches over it to honour his late grandfather.

Anderson isdelighted that so many stop to look at the Guyitt house.
