A little early for Halloween but this site lists numerous places in Massachusetts where the ghosts and goblins may hang out:

Needless to say, the B&B and Oak Grove Cemetery are listed. One other site in Fall River as well. Lots of places in Taunton.

And for Chris, Fairhaven had it's share as well.

Harry,

I've seen an identical list on another website. The site allows anyone to submit a report, with no effort to weed out frauds or practical jokes.

All of the Fairhaven items seem to be submitted by one person who knows very little about the things he/she is writing about.

The funniest example is the "China Room" of the Millicent Library. Although it's officially known as the Rogers Room, it has a collection of Japanese artifacts in it, because thye first Japanese person to live in America came to Fairhaven in 1843 after being rescued from a Pacific island by a Fairhaven whaling captain. There's nothing to do with "China" in here. "The room is always dreadfully cold" because is is part of a newer addition and is the only public room in the library that is air conditioned.

Millicent died three years before the library was built in her memory. She was buried, not in the library foundation (how absurd!) but in the family mausoleum in River-Side Cemetery.

My mother has worked at the library for many years and has never experienced anything remotely spooky. Nor have any of the other employees.

The "Fairhaven Nursing Home" is probably Nichols House Nursing Home. The home subscribes to a satelite radio service which is rebroadcast throughout the facility. Sometimes people driving by do find that if they're tuned to a certain radio station, the station changes as they drive by Nichols House.

Beside all of this, there are a lot of very basic facts of Fairhaven history which are screwed up in these listings.

Chris

Thank you both!
I love to see the fruits of Harry's web research and I love to hear certain things on the net being de-bunked- just as a reminder that not everything out there is true...
That was a good collaboration!

July 19, 2004 is the date for these photos. These might have been viewed before, if so I'm sorry for the repost.I honestly do not see anything in these pictures. I've looked at them several times. And the descriptions are not always matched up with the right pictures,unless it is just my browser playing tricks.

**Sigh**
