Is McAllister's Mill Site 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

McAllister's is the first — the 'six miles north' that's the Mason-Dixon's edge, the 'first stop' that's the Adams County seekers found. The 'mill wheel' is the hid — the 'under' that's the fugitives rested, the 'Rock Creek ford' that's the road twisted round. The 'July 4, 1836' is the resolved — the 'fourteen resolutions' that's the sons of Revolutionaries signed, the 'Anti-Slavery Society' that's the formed there.

The 'battle' is the layered — the 'Gettysburg '63' that's the wounded on mill floor, the 'Sandoe first' that's the killed in wagon. The 'dump' is the after — the 'borough' that's the site became, the 'miniature golf' that's the parking today. McAllister is the ruin — the 'foundations' that's the still intact, the 'whispers' that's the history's dusk.

The file keeps McAllister's: the first stop north, the mill-wheel hiding, the '36 resolutions, and the battlefield layering.

McAllister's Mill is the archive's Pennsylvania file — the wheel's shadow.

Why this file matters

McAllister's Mill is the archive's Pennsylvania file — the first door past the line.

A ruin keeps its wheel — the file's suggestion being that McAllister's hold is the liminal: the 'six miles' that's the freedom's edge, the 'under the wheel' that's the rest before flight, and the 'July 4' that's the resolutions signed on Independence Day.
