Unfortunately -- as you probably expected -- even having a spring well and a hen house on the property... that doesn't narrow it down enough for me. However, one of my readers may recognize this and reply to your comment. I hope so! If that doesn't happen, contact a few realtors in the area. You never know... one may reply. After all, the housing market is pretty slow, at the moment. Sincerely, Fiona Broome Hi Susan,

I’ve heard of many haunted houses around Amherst, NH. Unfortunately — as you probably expected — even having a spring well and a hen house on the property… that doesn’t narrow it down enough for me.

My parents were looking to buy property. and went to view this house that may have has a spring well on it and definitely had a hen house. The attic had a very evil presence in it and even the realtor new the house was strange. Needless to say I cannot remember where the house was.My parents are deceased and I'm wondering if you have ever heard of other haunted houses in the area? or where I might look. The encounter I had with this entity has literally "haunted" me for 45 years! I would love to find out more but I'm not sure how to go about it.

The first time I ever went to Vale End to find Mary Ritter's grave, I walked directly to it without any knowledge of its location. I have been there several times during the day. Once at night, I went to Vale End. I was pretty intoxicated with a couple of friends-my sober friend stayed in the car waiting for me and my other friend. I took a picture of my friend standing in front of the grave. We were not there long when my sober friend starting honking the horn and yelling for us to get in the car and leave. Apparently she saw an orb floating above my friends head and sure enough, it showed up in the picture. I have been in several areas of Vale End and I have felt many spirits. There IS a known entity there. I know for sure that whatever it is will cling to you and follow you. I experienced this for years. Many times when I am alone doing whatever it may be, I can sense something there. Also, I lived in a haunted farm house/barn in New Ipswich that was built in 1771. For some reason if spirits know that you know about them, they will make themselves KNOWN even more. I had to deal with this for the time I lived there. It came to the point when I was trying to go to sleep at night, I demanded to be left alone because it was like someone was standing right there looking at me. I will tell you that if it seems intriguing to visit some place that is known to be haunted; do not even bother to go 'ghost hunting' because you will regret it. I grew up in Wilton.

When I entered the cemetery and drove up in my car through the entrance I could feel a presence around that sacred burial ground, as if someone was watching me. I could feel this presence more as I walked around to investigate the entire cemetery. I am a gifted-sensitive and felt there were three or four ghosts present. I felt the spirits of two female ghosts and one or two male ghosts. I left a coin at the bottom of the headstone of Mary Ritter,and I walked around some more, when I came back to where she was buried five minutes later, I felt a cold spot, when I looked for my coin it was gone from the bottom of the headstone near the ground, instead it had moved by itself and rested on top of the headstone where it is rough. I have always visited haunted houses up to this point. But a visit to Vale End Cemetery was worth the trip. But be careful, because I felt uneasy with some of the spirits that encountered and this cemetery is only open daily from 7am until 7pm. And please do have respect for this place so you will have a safe visit while you are there! I visited Vale End Cemetery in Wilton, New Hampshire on Saturday, October 24th, 2009.

Speaking about the gravestone, I said, "It bears her maiden name–Mary Ritter–as well as the married name of her widower’s second wife, Mary Spaulding. (The second Mary Spaulding was, before her marriage to Isaac Spaulding, Mrs. Mary Flynn Colburn.)" In other words, her name <em>was</em> Mary Ritter Spaulding. She was born Mary Ritter, and married Isaac Spaulding. The second wife was Mary Flynn Colburn Spaulding. Also, there's nothing parsimonious about the entire family -- including both wives -- being buried in the same family plot. It'd be strange if a wife <em>wasn't</em> buried with the rest of the family. Sincerely, Fiona Connor,

Her name was mary spaulding. To save money after spauldings death the husband buried Mary Spaulding on top of Mary Ritter...Hence the name on the headstone Mary Ritter/Spaulding....her name was not Mary Ritter Spaulding....

(Then again, you probably knew that since you said your email address is "blahblah@whocares.com.") Mary Spaulding (or Spalding, like the Whitefield, NH inn owned by Jason Hawes & Grant Wilson & their families) was a lovely woman, and very religious according to contemporary stories. She was known for risking her own health to visit families and help the sick and elderly, and perhaps that contributed to her early, tragic death.
