ANCESTRAL HOME

From a manuscript found in 1926 in an old home near the Kingsport suburb of Sullivan Gardens. The writer is unknown.

I don’t know how much more of this I can stand. I’ve always considered myself a modern, free-thinking, broad-minded person, willing to accept new ideas and different points of view, and my educational background is nothing to be ashamed of. I earned two college degrees, and have continued to be well-read and informed, a modern thinking individual in this modern group-effort world, apart and yet a part of the masses.

I have never believed in supernatural nonsense, nor curses, nor the occult and other such balderdash, and I certainly have never accepted as possible any of the local old wives tales about ghosts, which can be nothing more than figments of the imagination or reflections and shadows that frighten a weak mind.

Yet, there is something strange about his old house, something real and terrible that defies logical explanation and seems to create even a physical reaction from my body itself, completely apart from my mind.

I purchased the old house on a whim, simply because it once belonged to an ancestor of mine.

That was more than a hundred and fifty years ago, before the family lost their fortune and fell from grace insofar as society and prominence in the area is concerned.

That terrible war between the states wrecked my family’s fortunes, lost to them their lands and properties, including the vast number of servants they had gained through diligence and careful management, not to mention hard work.
