For this Fourth of July we'll be talking with someone who has been experiencing something strange in their colonial era house!

Most people don’t bother to look into the histoey of their home let alone the city or town where they live. But for our guest tonight, history plays a huge roll in what might be going on in her home. 

     Now most homes we see today are fairly modern, built within the last fifty or sixty years. Not all of them of course, my house was built in the 1890’s, making it nearly 140 years old. Now not many of us can say our house is over 150 years old, as they’ve either gone up in some fire, fallen in due to disrepair or neglect or been ripped down and replaced with something newer. However, tonight‘s guest can. In fact, our guest’s house, was built before the founding fathers ratified the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

    Not only is her house one of the oldest in the immediate area, the area they call home, Charlestown, New Hampshire was the northernmost township for a while, known as plantation number. 

 I say that to say the house that tonight’s story revolves around, and essentially the ground it’s built upon, has stood for almost as long as European settlers have existed in the area, seeing all there is to see over the course of 264 long years. 

     The funny thing is, the home has literally stood the test of time. Seeing dozens of families pass through its doors and not only all the  happiness those families brought with them but the sadness as well. I have no doubt that countless birth day parties, thanksgivings and christmases were held within its walls. And as you’ll find out soon, we know there was atleast one confirmed death. 

     But for the amount of human energy stored within a house nearly three centuries old, it might just be the land it’s built on that holds the real mysteries…..

    So sit back, relax and enjoy another episode of Almost Canon.
