Is Hosanna African Union Methodist Protestant Church 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
Hosanna is the Hinsonville — the '1843' that's the free Black built, the 'seven miles' that's the from Mason-Dixon. The 'floorboards' is the chamber — the 'tiny secret' that's the under the church, the 'Tubman' that's the used the station. The 'clothes' is the exchange — the 'members swapped' that's the disguise the fugitives, the 'Douglass and Truth' that's the preached there.
The 'Saturday noon' is the built — the 'enslaved helped' that's the Marylanders' free hours, the 'freedmen' that's the side by side. The '54th' is the cemetery — the '17 veterans' that's the Massachusetts regiment, the 'Lincoln University' that's the grew around it. Hosanna is the last — the 'one room' that's the standing of Hinsonville, the 'Toni Morrison bench' that's the '15 placed.
The file keeps Hosanna: the floorboard chamber, the clothes swap, the Tubman stops, and the 17 graves.
Hosanna AUMP is the archive's Pennsylvania file — the church with a cellar.
Why this file matters
Hosanna AUMP is the archive's Pennsylvania file — the last of Hinsonville.
A chapel keeps its floorboards — the file's suggestion being that Hosanna's hold is the underneath: the 'secret chamber' that's the below the hymns, the 'enslaved builders' that's the helped on Saturdays, and the '54th graves' that's the surrounded the doorway.
