While the October 10th (2009) fundraiser at Tenney Gate House was a tremendous success, some people asked questions afterward.  Here are my replies, and a new recording about Tenney Gate House.

Some people thought that I’d organized the event.  I didn’t.  The event was managed by the Essex County Ghost Project, and supported by the Pelham [...]

Tenney Gatehouse and the Greycourt Castle ruins are among Methuen’s historical treasures… and among that city’s most haunted locations.
At a fundraiser on Saturday, October 10th, 2009, I was among the investigators invited to Tenney Gatehouse by the Essex County Ghost Project and Pelham Paranormal Research.
The 2009 event sold out almost immediately, and raised over $600 [...]

Greycourt Castle (or Grey Court Castle) was the estate home of Charles H. Tenney, his wife Fanny, and their son Daniel G. Tenney.
The castle-style mansion was built in the 1880s and used as a summer home by the Tenney family.
In the 1950s, it was sold and used as a drug rehabilitation facility in the mid-20th [...]

Tenney Gatehouse (37 Pleasant Street, Methuen, Massachusetts) and the nearby Greycourt Castle ruins are great, gently-haunted sites.  They’re ideal for first-time ghost hunters.
I compiled the following history from a variety of sources.  I’ve done my best to be accurate, but I only briefly surveyed the history.  There may be errors in this report.

Two ghosts on the Charles H. Tenney property (Tenney Gate House and Greycourt Castle) may be the Gorrill brothers, or their residual energy.
In my opinion, this part of the site’s history has been badly overlooked.  The legends give ghost hunters some very good reasons to more thoroughly investigate the Greycourt Castle area.
Here’s the short version [...]

In Ghost Hunting in Haunted Cemeteries, I mention one eerie cemetery in Northfield-Tilton, New Hampshire.  (The boundaries between Northfield and Tilton aren’t always clear.  I think this cemetery is in Northfield, but I could be wrong.)
Several graves in that cemetery indicate good activity.
Last night, we took photos of rain orbs for my upcoming book, Ghost [...]

Tenney Gate House is a fascinating haunt.
On April 4th, I (Fiona Broome) investigated Tenney  Gate House with  John Zaffis, Tom Lynch, members of the Essex County Ghost Project,  Gavin Cromwell and other paranormal investigators.
We worked in teams, and at the end of the evening, we compared notes.  Many of our paranormal encounters matched in terms [...]

Last night, we had a wonderful time exploring three Haverhill (MA) cemeteries.  Thanks so much to the Essex County Ghost Project for organizing this event and inviting me to it!
Here are a few of my notes:
Walnut Cemetery, Kenoza Street, Haverhill, MA

A large cemetery with some very harsh energy, especially around the Victorian-era graves.   I was [...]

The Betsy Ross episode of “Ghost Hunters” had barely aired when I started receiving emails.
People are asking me if Betsy Ross was a hoax, but I suspect that many are actually asking me about the TAPS team.
I’ll repeat my previous statement:  I’ve known Jason and Grant for years.  I trust them 100% and have no [...]

Austin, Texas is a wonderfully haunted city.  Its ghosts are more colorful than most, with the kinds of histories you’d expect from a “wild west” city.  In fact, many of Austin’s ghosts linger because they want to, not because they’re stuck in our earthly plane.
These are the five places that I’d visit with just a [...]
