Is Kimmey House haunted?
The record holds 1 claim — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed unverified. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
Kimmey House is the campus — the 'three buildings' that's the society's row, the '1800' that's the oldest's year. The 'society saved' is the born — the '1939' that's the founding's year, the 'demolition' that's the threat's form. The 'shutters copied' is the kept — the 'fragile original' that's the pattern's state, the 'grant matched' that's the fix's fund.
The 'tavern next' is the paired — the 'Cockey's' that's the '20's name, the 'library' that's the use's now. The 'garden walks' is the grown — the 'Shipley' that's the memorial's name, the 'kitchen pleasure' that's the beds' split. Kimmey House is the held — the 'Main Street' that's the row's face, the 'nonprofit's load' that's the upkeep's truth.
The file keeps Kimmey House: the campus three, the saved '39, the copied shutters, and the held Main.
Kimmey House is the archive's Maryland file — the house a society was founded to save.
Why this file matters
Kimmey House is the archive's Maryland file — the oldest brick on the historical society's row.
A house keeps its row — the file's suggestion being that Kimmey's hold is the grouped: the 'three buildings' that's the campus's count, the '1939' that's the society's start, and the 'shutters copied' that's the care's detail.
The record of claims
EastGhost attributes haunting claims to unspecified former occupants. Kimmey House wears the claim the way old houses do: visibly, and without comment. Unverified — the file records the allegation and the absence of proof in the same line. The report is preserved in sources like 'EastGhost ParaGuide: 50 Hot Haunts in Maryland'. The haunting is unproven and unfired: it keeps showing up for work anyway.
