Here's an old photo of the "Big House", the old William Scott mansion that used to stand on the grounds of camp Casa Mare in Seabrook, TX. It was built in 1910, and demolished by the Girl Scout council in 1992. They claim the house was too expensive to maintain, so they'd rather destroy it than seek alternatives. A real shame. It was a beautiful, historic old house.
Sadly this is the only photo I have of the mansion. I think it was taken in the late 80's. If you have any more photos of it, please let me know.

Camp Casa Mare
Camp Casa Mare was formerly a privately owned mansion, and is now Girl Scout Camp Casa Mare. A young woman who lived in the home with her father near the shore is said to be very distraught over the loss of a lover. She waited, watching for him to return from the sea from her balcony every night until she met her untimely death and collided with the ground below. The mansion has since been torn down, and a mess hall built where it once stood. Some say if you stand in a circle around the spot where she died (it remains uncovered by buildings, but now lies under a tile mural of a star), she will pull at you from the center of the circle, so that everyone leans inward. Two campers supposedly died after falling in a well and being trapped. It has since been covered, but many report they still hear them screaming and clawing to get cut. Also, the dorm nearest to the shore is supposedly haunted (the dorm for those campers taking sailing). There are three showers, and when the first two are turned on, the third mysteriously turns on. Lights turn on and off and campers report hearing things.
