The Door In the Closet Pt.1
In a sleepy old hamlet in Northeastern Maine
on old Knob Hill Road, there is a house,
a very old house,Victorian I think with
with what looks like old bell towers on either end
But they aren't really bell towers at all, I guess
you could say they look like spooky old watch
towers, or if your imagination were to run away
old dungeon towers, none the less spooky.
It's been said that strange things have happened
in that old house over many years, many, many years
Sightings of ghosts and apparitions, paranormal things
that of owners past perhaps, screams in the night
There are those who say, they saw lights on
over those many years, but really that would mean man made
There has been no electricity there in two decades
or has it? No one can really say for sure, alive that is!
All these sightings have only been seen from the front gate
and some from the back gate as well, no-one has ever entered
there has been no-one alive past the front gates in a long time
Not in the house on old Knob Hill Road.
So, when I arrived in that sleepy little hamlet my first
stop was the Police station, well they call it constables office
I didn't know any of those still existed anymore, I guess it
shows that old practices still do exist, I guess!
I wanted permission to enter that old house, on Old Knob Hill Road
I was really looking for the owner and figured this was a start
what I was met with was bewilderment and laughter
all of which was at my expense, They all thought I was nuts I guess
I met up with Constable Danforth, Chief Constable, actually the only
one. He said in his quaint New England accent, Thar hasn't been a
soul on that property in nearly eighty yaars now. The town owns the
property and the house, we wanted to tear it down, but couldn't.
I asked why of course, Well no-one will go near the old place
say it's haunted and evil, things like that. Well I said that is
exactly what I am here to find out, that's what I do.
Search for hauntings and evil places to prove reality or fiction.
Please don't mind the mis-spellings they are for accent purposes only, such as
yaars is actually years...Maine style..Continued in Pt. 2
