A CIRCA 1848 HAUNTED FARM HOUSE
SORRY, THE SALEM FARM HOUSE IS NOT A BED AND BREAKFAST ANYMORE. |

In January 2008 we rented the house
to a young family of four that had a fire in their Jarrettsville home and moved into The Salem Farm House for three weeks
while their house is being restored and cleaned....Every night for 5 weeks, after the parents had
put their 4 year old daughter to sleep, they heard a loud thud and footsteps running down
the hall to the bathroom. They would run upstairs to their daughter’s room to find her sleeping
peacefully...On numerus occasions, in the middle of the afternoon when the daughter was
trying to take her daily nap, she would call her mother upstairs and ask her to tell the man
& woman in the corner to stop talking. She said she couldn't sleep with all their noise.
The mother aske the ghosts to be quiet & they listened...In the middle of the day,
the daughter played and jumped up & down on her bed with a little boy & a little
girl...In the middle
of one afternoon the daughter was standing at the top of the steps. She called her
mom & told her that a man was trying to push her down the stairs. She asked her mom to
make the man stop & suggested putting him in a "time-out" for being mean. The mother
put the ghost in a "time-out" & he never bothered the little girl again...On a few occasions, the parents
would hear a baby's crying coming through the baby moniter. But it wasn't their baby who was crying. In
June 2008, we rented the house full time to a middle aged lady name Suzanne.
She has signed a 1 year lease & lived at The Salem Farm House alone with her two "pug" dogs...During
the first night at her new home, Suzanne had a dream that she was being choked. She
said she felt like she was floating above the room, watching herself being choked by a woman dressed
in clothing from the 1800’s. When Suzanne woke up, she could feel the woman
sitting on top of her with her hands around her throat...Suzanne also told us that her dogs were always
staring at something in one corner of the Parlor. In December
2008, Suzanne went on vacation & asked for a dog-sitter
while she is gone…A 35 year old mother & her 3 year old son went over around 6pm to take care of the dogs.
The mother was writing a note to Suzanne while her son is playing in a nearby closet- he
liked how the lights automatically went on & off when he opened & closed the closet door.
Suddenly, the child was leaning up against his mom’s leg, looking at the ground.
The mom asked if he was ok, he said ‘yes’. The mom asked if
something was wrong, the son said ‘no’. Then, the child asked his mom,
“Mommy, who is that lady?” The mom asked, “What lady?”
The child said, “The lady in the closet.” When the mother opened the doors to find
no one there, her son turned and ran towards the dining room looking for the lady, asking " Where did the lady go?"
