Is James C. and Amelia Jackson Farm 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

The Jackson farm is the broken — the 'two sold' that's the '58 trigger, the 'four more threatened' that's the mother's fear. The 'seven children' is the carried — the 'rare flight' that's the family whole, the 'November' that's the cold walked. The 'St. Catharines' is the reached — the 'Still's record' that's the Philadelphia passed, the 'Toronto settled' that's the new life built.

The 'father's mind' is the lost — the 'poor house' that's the grief's end, the 'free blacksmith' that's the status useless. The 'Albert' is the after — the 'first Black carrier' that's the Toronto's mark, the 'reunited' that's the eldest found. The Jackson farm is the origin — the 'flight began' that's the Delaware left, the 'family whole' that's the rarest prize.

The file keeps the Jacksons: the sales threatened, the seven carried, the father lost, and the Toronto rebuilt.

The Jackson farm is the archive's Delaware file — the mother who carried seven out.

Why this file matters

The Jackson farm is the archive's Delaware file — the family's mass escape to Canada.

A farm keeps its empty — the file's suggestion being that the Jacksons' hold is the fled: the 'seven children' that's the cargo rare, the 'father broken' that's the cost counted, and the 'Toronto rebuilt' that's the freedom's use.
