Dark, mysterious, and abandoned; the Shrieking Shack is located on the top of a hill near Hogsmeade. Initially, it was built for the use of Remus Lupin during his werewolf transformations while he was a student at Hogwarts. That being over a century ago, wizarding-folk are more concerned with the rumors that it was used as a temporary deatheater hideout near the end of The War.
