Is James Canning and Lydia Fuller 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

Fuller is the Quaker — the 'Liverpool' that's the English abolitionist, the 'Skaneateles' that's the '34 bought. The 'Harriet Powell' is the suspected — the 'Mississippi slave' that's the hid at Fuller's, the 'secretary '38' that's the Anti-Slavery Society. The 'Loguen' is the sheltered — the 'Jerry Rescue' that's the '51 fled, the 'found safe' that's the Fuller's door.

The 'Harriet Russell' is the purchased — the 'freedom bought' that's the Gerrit Smith papers, the 'Peterboro' that's the descendants live. The 'blind' is the rumored — the 'never found' that's the hidden passage, the 'graveyard tunnel' that's the unproven. Fuller is the continued — the 'Lydia' that's the kept the station after '47, the 'Dr. James' that's the son carried on.

The file keeps Fuller: the Powell hide, the Russell purchase, Loguen's refuge, and the unfound tunnel.

Fuller House is the archive's New York file — the Quaker's guest room.

Why this file matters

Fuller House is the archive's New York file — the bought freedom.

A house keeps its blind — the file's suggestion being that Fuller's hold is the purchased: the 'Russell' that's the bought out of slavery, the 'Loguen' that's the fled to this door, and the 'tunnel' that's the never found but believed.
