Is Frampton House haunted?
The record holds 1 claim — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed reported experience. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
Frampton is the burned — the 'Sherman's march' that's the '65 torched, the 'rebuilt '68' that's the farmhouse rose. The 'secession signed' is the paid — the 'Ordinance' that's the Frampton's name, the 'house burned' that's the signature's cost. The 'earthworks dug' is the kept — the 'Lee ordered' that's the trenches' maker, the 'railroad guarded' that's the mounds' purpose.
The 'King's Grant' is the old — the '1700s' that's the land's start, the 'The Hill' that's the highest named. The 'truck stop' is the escaped — the 'bulldozed planned' that's the '80s threat, the 'donated '93' that's the tourism's save. Frampton is the layered — the 'Carolina Gold' that's the wealth's crop, the 'enslaved grew' that's the labor's truth.
The file keeps Frampton: the burned house, the signed secession, the kept trenches, and the saved oaks.
Frampton House is the archive's South Carolina file — the secessionist's rebuilt farmhouse.
Why this file matters
Frampton House is the archive's South Carolina file — where a secession signature cost a house.
A farm keeps its trenches — the file's suggestion being that Frampton's hold is the survived: the 'Sherman burned' that's the price paid, the 'Lee dug' that's the earthworks kept, and the 'truck stop dodged' that's the late save.
