One foot in the Grave

One foot in the grave performed by Peter Lavell on Guitars and Vocals.

I passed by this old orphanage some years ago on a bike ride in the country, i went inside and it scared the hell out of me. Later I found out it is a famous ghost house in The Netherlands called villa la pommerie or t Hoompje.

The Hoompje monastery was built in 1909. Until 1986, the building functioned as a boarding school for Belgian children with a mental disability. The last nuns left at the end of the eighties. The building became vacant and was placed on the national monument list. Ronnie van de Putte bought the building in 1992. Since then the building has been empty. In recent years, visits from looters, drug users and ghost hunters have taken their toll. The building can no longer withstand storms either. When it stormed at the beginning of March, the Hoompje collapsed a little further. Among other things, the bell from the tower fell
