No, wait, I've got it: her ancestors lived in a mammoth-house, so logically they must be mammoths. Therefore the heroine is at least part-mammoth, or perhaps an elephant, depending on how far back the mammoths were. This may be a new departure in gothic novels.
Perhaps the legends of the past involve some sort of prehistoric zookeeper.
(Also, I've just noticed that house apparently has its attics above the roof. Evidently when they turned into tentacles they crawled out of the chimneys, or something.)
