PRIVATE
RESIDENCE
Dighton, Massachusetts
A GEORGIAN-STYLE HOME BUILT IN 1790
This location was constructed in 1790 with a Georgian-style influence. The location was added on to or remodeled in 1975, which can be seen in the addition on the right side of the home.
We were asked to visit the home under a very unusual set of circumstances. The home and its haunted reputation had been documented in the 1994 book The New England Ghost Files by Charles Turek Robinson. It was based on incidents related by previous owners in 1967 and 1968, mainly surrounding the spirit of a young boy around 13 years old who was seen wearing a baseball glove, along with disturbances in the basement.
THE CASE
The former owners reached out to various members of the clergy before moving out in 1970, citing their concern over the lack of privacy with a spirit sharing the home.
We approached the investigation with all of this in mind, remaining as objective as we could because ghost stories cannot always be taken as definitive signs of a haunting.
