Fairly easy to read. E-text prepared by Thierry Alberto and the Ghosts and Goblins of the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Haunted House: A True Ghost Story" by Walter Hubbell is a supernatural account written in the late 19th century. This book presents a true narrative of mysterious manifestations centered around a young woman named Esther Cox, who becomes known in her community for experiencing strange and unsettling occurrences that many attribute to supernatural forces. Hubbell, who lived in the house during these events, aims to document the peculiar phenomena that unfold. The story details the experiences of Esther Cox and her family as they contend with increasingly bizarre occurrences, including loud knocks, floating objects, and fire-related incidents, all seemingly linked to Esther's presence. The narrative unfolds through the family's interactions with both their roaming spirits and visiting investigators, who attempt to understand the nature of the phenomena. Throughout the story, Hubbell paints a vivid picture of Esther's struggles, detailing how her mental and emotional state deteriorates under the strain of the haunting. As the manifestations intensify, the narrative delves into themes of fear, isolation, and the quest for answers in a world that blurs the line between the real and the supernatural. Ultimately, the account raises questions about the nature of the haunting and the true essence of the forces at play.
