Haunted Brattleboro seems to be a theme this month. So, I suppose I should at least mention that the original part of the Brattleboro building where I live has been deemed to be haunted. I have lived in this building, the Jacob Estey Homestead, since 1985(!) and have never seen anything here; but I have heard a lot, and some of the creaks and groans of floors and cupboard door hinges sound like language of some sort: - far better, in my opinion, than electronic voice phenomena (EVPs). Far and away the main sounds, that appear to be intelligible, say "Thank you." It is great to be appreciated; but I have never gotten an answer when I ask what I am being thanked for. Maybe this is on a need to know basis.

I own spiritualism books written by William George Langworthy Taylor who, as a boy, grew up in a home where one of the boarders was Katie Fox of spiritualism's famous Fox Sisters. One of these volumes, in fact, was previously owned by the Fox Family Society. And, not totally incidentally, I graduated from the University of Maine in the same graduating class as Stephen King.

Brattleboro Retreat was my employer for over twenty years.

Hauntings seem to be on my trail.

Footnote:

Personally, I would not characterize electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) as inhumane, as this NewsBreak article does. Not a lot of treatment options were available years ago and ECT showed some promise. As I understand it, ECT is still available for a few cases, with informed consent.

Brattleboro Retreat was built in 1834 as the Vermont Asylum for the insane. However, in the late 19th century, the name changed to Brattleboro Retreat so as not to be confused with the state-run facility, Vermont State Asylum for the Insane.
