Is Camden Friends Meeting House haunted?

No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.

The record — long form

Camden is the buried — the 'John Hunn' that's the Chief Engineer, the 'sheriff's sale' that's the lands lost. The 'thousands passed' is the moved — the 'Delaware's network' that's the route ran, the 'modest' that's the credit declined. The 'gambrel roof' is the kept — the '1805' that's the last built, the 'Hunn's land' that's the gift given.

The 'absorbed all' is the survived — the 'Kent County's only' that's the meeting left, the 'Hicksite center' that's the anti-slavery's heart. The 'schoolroom above' is the taught — the 'upstairs' that's the children's floor, the 'double doors' that's the design unique. Camden is the engine — the 'Chief Engineer's grave' that's the yard's claim, the 'son's governorship' that's the legacy kept.

The file keeps Camden: Hunn's grave, the sheriff's sale, the absorbed meetings, and the engine's name.

Camden Friends is the archive's Delaware file — where the Chief Engineer rests.

Why this file matters

Camden Friends is the archive's Delaware file — the Chief Engineer's burial ground.

A yard keeps its engineer — the file's suggestion being that Camden's hold is the centered: the 'Hunn's grave' that's the network's heart, the 'fortune lost' that's the price paid, and the 'modest' that's the hero's manner.
