14 West 10th—"22 ghosts," Mark Twain, and the murders.

House of Death is a house in New York, New York. 14 West 10th—"22 ghosts," Mark Twain, and the murders. HauntHunt files it with dark history, local folklore and haunted places. The presence its accounts keep returning to is the one they call the 22. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

The House of Death is the '50s — the Greek Revival that's the 10th Street, the Twain that's the '00-01. The 22 are the claimed — the deaths that are the legend, the Bartell that's the '74 memoir. The 'problem' is the quote — the Clemens who appeared '30s, the 'gotta settle' that's the line.
The Steinberg was the '87 — the Lisa that's the 6-year-old, the beating that's the real horror. The cat is the ghost — the spectral that's the reported, the woman in white that's the other. The House of Death is the layered — the Twain that's the famous, the Steinberg that's the true crime.
The file keeps the House of Death: the Twain residence, the Bartell memoir, the '87 Steinberg, and the 22 legend.
The House of Death is the archive's NYC file — the Village's dark house.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The House of Death is the archive's NYC file — the Twain ghost.
A house keeps its writer — the file's suggestion being that the House's hold is the layered: the Twain that's the ghost, the Steinberg that's the real, and the '22' that's the legend.

FILED CLAIMS — 2 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] named ghost legend: The 22 ghosts—including Twain—are reportedly seen. A house with New York's history behind it gives the reports a setting that needs no exaggeration. The account has a collector's pedigree — written down as legend, which is the most honest status it can hold. 'House of Death' carries the account. A ghost with a name outlasts a ghost without one; the reports keep it employed.
