It was a house of legend in town. Long ago deserted, neglect had become it's friend. Once dark tho, the house would seem different. It almost seemed alive. Strange, deep murmurs, a cold draft eminating from the place making your skin cold, shivering, pale. No one lived here, at least no one alive.
I needed something similar a few years ago. What I did was go to a really dead-beat area and stood outside a place for ages trying to absorb the atmosphere.
Any other way will read like second-hand descriptions. You HAVE to write these things with first-hand knowledge. Other people's views simply are not good enough - sorry!

a house that looks like it could fall any second. its wooden boards are sticking out in a lot of areas of the house. it's black paint is almost all off, but there is one part where there is a painting of a skull in perfect condition..........the only part of the house that is unharmed.
(this next part is just a joke...well....kinda)
and then....when you go inside......you see......MY TEAHCER!

The building isn't scary just the resident.
