Freaky Friday - A Haunting In Appleton Ontario

Private Residence - Appleton

It's rare to hear a report that mimics the worst types of hauntings you might find in fictional accounts on TV, in books or the movies, but according to Barabara Smith in Ontario Ghost Stories, a house that fits that bill existed (and may yet exist) in Appleton, Ontario.

According to Ms. Smith, the house was built in the 1830's for a well-to-do husband and wife. Since the home was more room than they needed, the husband invited his sister (referred to as a 'spinster' in the book) to live with them as well. All was well in the home until another sibling, a brother of the husband, passed away orphaning twelve children.

The three in Appleton took these children in, and according to Ms. Smith, the strain of raising twelve children drove the spinster sister to the brink of insanity and possibly brought on a premature death. It's the "spinster" that was assumed to be the ghost that still haunted the place.

This story pacified, if a little strangely, the folks who, in the 1970's picked up this "bargain" in real-estate... complete with it's private cemetery containing seven graves.

Apparently, the owners had noticed things "from the corner of their eye" and had noted an 'air' in the place... especially when it came to their young daughter. They surmised, on hearing the tale, that the ghost of the women drove almost mad by children being thrust into her home was none-to-happy about yet another child coming in... despite this being long after her own demise.

According to Ms. Smith, this made the events somehow tolerable (we note that to many, understanding will ease things as much in some cases as ridding a home of "something",) and they eventually became comfortable in their haunted home.

Many thanks to Ms. Smith and Lone Pine Publishing for allowing us to put up this report.

Hi, my name is Scott Clarke. I have maybe 40 tapes of "things" that are, well, "other worlds" if you will. I"ve showed my tapes to friends and neighbors and no one wants to come back in my house. I dont know what to do with them but they are authentic and absolutely amazing. For three yaers now I receive "energy" in my fingers, the palm of my hands, and so forth. A form of communication. I am the father of 5 children. What you see may not be what I see. I can talk to you about so many things that I have been "told" but at the risk of sounding "koo koo" I"ll leave things at that and if you are interested in seeing my tapes, let me know. When I tell you that what I have is absolutely amazing, well you"ll just have to see for yourself. A suggestion; zoom your cam at 75x , you"ll see. The eyes are real (Isreal). Codes in the bible (no im not a bible freak)Ex: The word evil: everytime you have the letter v in a word, it means next vowel up one vowel, therefore the i in the word evil now becomes an o. L at the end of a word means reversing the letters thus giving you the word LOVE. This works for every word. Take a crucifix, remove Jesus from the crucifix, then remove the plaque on top of her, the INRI , you will see that this plaque clips in the back of Jesus. Nail to the top of the cross, put in sunlight and watch it swivel as the sun moves (it moves very slow but it is like it is hovering). With the code that I decyphered With help from the energy I receive, you would be amazed at what you will discover. Last,with the code, there are but two letters left from the word Jesus Christ......E T . 5 is a magic number. 5 senses, 5 vowels, 5 fingers, 5 necessities for life( water, air ,light,bread,fire) 555555. Look at the word heart. he art. Father, fat her(empregnate her)I could tell you things that would impress you or at least give you food for thought.
