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 [...]
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 [...]
Since my first Haverhill ghost investigation in 2008, people have asked me why Haverhill and vicinity are so haunted. There are many reasons. History may be part of it.
Why is Haverhill haunted?
Haverhill (pronounced “HAY-vuh-rill” or just “HAY-vrill”) has been the site of many significant events, including some gruesome history that is documented at [...]

Bradford College, Bradford, Massachusetts – 11 March 2000
Pre-visit preparations
Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much at Bradford. Many ghost stories at colleges like Bradford have scant foundations, and are actually stories traded among students as a way of bonding, being part of the community, and other psychological benefits.
Samantha Farley, of Bradford College, has written an excellent [...]
