Is George and Sarah Guthrie 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

Guthrie is the Putnam — the record pins Sardinia, but the house stands at 521 Woodlawn in Zanesville, the '1841 Greek Revival' that's the National Register. The 'Sarah's autobiography' is the attic — the 'three children hidden' that's the while owners rode the streets, the 'unpublished' that's the wrote it herself. The 'brothers' is the decoy — the 'woman and four children' that's the stashed at William Harris's, the 'mine' that's the sent hunters digging wrong.

The 'Putnam Presbyterian' is the cluster — the 'Guthrie families' that's the plural members, the 'Douglass '43' that's the preached the pulpit. The 'Beecher' is the pastor — the 'William Henry' that's the Stowe's brother, the 'half of Putnam' that's the abolitionists she counted. Guthrie is the second — the 'A.A.' that's the cousin's house nearby, the 'two Guthrie stations' that's the one family, two doors.

The file keeps Guthrie: the attic children, the mine decoy, the Harris handoff, and the Putnam cluster.

Guthrie House is the archive's Ohio file — the brothers' decoy.

Why this file matters

Guthrie House is the archive's Ohio file — the attic over the manhunt.

A house keeps its decoys — the file's suggestion being that Guthrie's hold is the misdirected: the 'attic' that's the held three children, the 'mine' that's the ate the search, and the 'two houses' that's the family ran parallel stations.
