Is Charles Mitchell Escape Site on the Puget Sound Underground Railroad 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
Charles Mitchell is the steamed — the 'Eliza Anderson' that's the galley hid, the '13 years old' that's the boy fled. The 'found' is the caught — the 'Seattle search' that's the Army's check, the 'captain returned' that's the law invoked. The 'crowd rescued' is the freed — the 'Victoria docks' that's the mob's stand, the 'declared free' that's the court's word.
The 'Dred Scott' is the bound — the 'still slave' that's the '57 ruled, the 'territory free' that's the law's lie. The 'first NTF' is the marked — the 'Washington's only' that's the listing's claim, the 'Percival Landing' that's the dock kept. Mitchell is the water — the 'maritime railroad' that's the Sound's route, the 'cook hid' that's the galley's hold.
The file keeps Mitchell: the steamer's galley, the Army's find, Victoria's rescue, and the court's free.
Charles Mitchell is the archive's Washington file — the boy the Sound carried.
Why this file matters
Charles Mitchell is the archive's Washington file — the Underground Railroad's only steamer.
A dock keeps its boy — the file's suggestion being that Mitchell's hold is the rescued: the 'galley hid' that's the cook's risk, the 'crowd freed' that's the Victoria's stand, and the '13' that's the age's stakes.
