Is Hunt 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

Hunt House is the tea party — the 'July 9, '48' that's the Jane newly postpartum, the 'Mott, M'Clintock, Wright, Stanton' that's the five convened. The 'parlor' is the birthplace — the 'decided to call' that's the first women's rights convention, the 'eleven days' that's the to Seneca Falls. The 'olive wool' is the free — the 'untainted cloth' that's the sent Garrison, the 'Waterloo mills' that's the slave-free suit.

The 'way-station' is the legend — the 'harbored fugitives' that's the park's wording, the 'Quaker network' that's the Finger Lakes. The 'papers' is the '23 — the '1,000 pieces' that's the 140 years private, the 'do everything' that's the superintendent's quote. Hunt House is the dual — the 'women's rights' that's the born there, the 'freedom seekers' that's the sheltered same walls.

The file keeps Hunt House: the tea, the parlor, the wool suit, and the 1,000 papers.

Hunt House is the archive's New York file — the tea that changed a nation.

Why this file matters

Hunt House is the archive's New York file — the double cradle.

A parlor keeps its tea — the file's suggestion being that Hunt's hold is the birthed: the 'five women' that's the planned a revolution, the 'olive wool' that's the wore conviction, and the 'postpartum' that's the Jane hosted anyway.
