Here's a summary of the
tale. My friend moved into this house in
eastern
Mass. The first night they
were there, her aunt awoke late in the evening
because she heard a strange
noise. When she went downstairs, she saw the
entire kitchen had been
'transformed' into what appeared to her to be a
meeting room, with a table
directly in the center. Mind you, she
could
still see everything
"real" in the kitchen.
She then explained that
their were people talking about the table. Some
were leaning against the
walls, others were seated, and still others were
walking about the room. She
even said some of them looked directly at
her, but kept doing whatever
it was they were busy with at the time.
The next morning, when
everyone got up, she was waiting in the kitchen.
She told everyone what she
had seen. They didn't quite believe her. So,
my friend's brother waited
in the room that night. But, he didn't see
anything. However, the
aunt's sister had come over after hearing the news
and she told almost the same
story. Her story differed in one
part. She
claimed the "ghostly
meters" has adjourned their meeting and had all
left via the front door!
Well, curious beyond belief,
they rushed to the historical society and
researched their home. Sure
enough, they found a lot. It turns out that
the house belonged to Daniel
Webster--well, the acreage had belonged to
him. He had built his
meeting house there. One winter, the house burned
down. The townspeople built
another one, but not in the same place.
Instead, a lake formed. When the lake had formed, Webster brought the
key to his old meeting house
to the lake and threw it in. Years later,
the lake dried up and my
friend's house was built.
Now, if the burning of the
house was paranormal, I cannot say. What I can
say is, no one has seen the
ghosts but women. Weird.
And if you're interested,
the Governor's house down the road is haunted
as well. Want to hear that one?
Perhaps the entire area is
haunted?
Hope you enjoyed the
condensed version.

I swear that this is a true

A friend of mine attended
She would remain late hours
practicing the piano, when she'd hear another piano playing elsewhere in the
building. She'd go investigate, but
never find anyone. Then at one point she
was right outside the door of the room with the piano playing, she quickly
opened it, the music stopped and no one was there.
There was some sort of theory on this, but
I forget what. Maybe some Anna Maria
alums. could fill in the details?

Sorry folks, but I tried to
unsubscribe for the summer early this morning,
and made a big mistake. I figure for that I owe yall a story. Here goes:
I
have not witnessed this myself, but this is a story about my dormitory. I live
in Thayer Hall in
It seems that during the winter at late
hours, around
I am sorry that this story is so vague,
but it is all that I know. There must be more ghosts here but I cannot come up
with the stories myself. Next year I promise to research into more of them. So
long all and enjoy your respective summers. I still feel a little embarrassed
at the snafu. Joe Soler

Some hotels and inns I've heard about that are reputed to
be haunted are:
The Kennebunk Inn in
The Hawthorne Hotel in
are:
The
the Colonial Inn,
The Bramble Inn in Brewster
on
supposedly is haunted, and
someone told me that an apparition of a woman
appears and that guests have
seen or spoken with her, thinking she is another
guest there only to find out
she was not. I've been told that there
are many
articles in either the Cape
Cod Times or The Cape Codder over the years about
the tavern's ghost. It is
located at 3176 Main St., Barnstable, MA
(508)362-2355.
The Brunswick in Old Orchard
Beach, Maine
A couple of eateries that
I've been told are haunted are:
The Country Tavern in
Nashua, NH and The Chart House
Restaurant in
Simsbury, CT.
I'm compiling a book on
haunted places in New England and have been told
of the above, but have not
yet looked into them in depth. If anyone
knows
of others in the area, or
has any experiences to relate in any of the
above please e-mail me or
post here! Thanks, Amy.
