Is Merchant’s House Museum haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

Merchant's is the '32 — the '29 East 4th' that's the address, the '100 years' that's the Tredwells. The 'Gertrude' is the '93 — the '1840' that's the born, the '1933' that's the died in house. The '8' is the deaths — the 'never left' that's the said, the 'piano' that's the played.

The 'intact' is the rare — the 'only family home' that's the NYC, the 'original furniture' that's the kept. The 'COVID' is the empty — the '2020' that's the closed, the 'scientific' that's the investigated. Merchant's is the haunted — the 'Landmark' that's the first, the 'National' that's the '66.

The file keeps Merchant's: the 1832 house, the Gertrude Tredwell, the 8 deaths, and the intact interior.

Merchant's House is the archive's NYC file — the preserved haunting.
