Is Mount Carmel site haunted?

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

The record — long form

Mount Carmel is the '93 — the '51 days' that's the siege, the '76' that's the dead. The 'Koresh' is the Vernon — the 'Branch Davidians' that's the sect, the 'ATF' that's the February. The 'fire' is the April — the 'deliberately set' that's the report, the 'children' that's the shot.

The 'tear gas' is the inserted — the 'pyrotechnic' that's the denied, the '6 years' that's the admitted. The '9 escaped' is the survived — the 'compound' that's the consumed, the 'gunshot forehead' that's the Koresh. Mount Carmel is the tragedy — the 'Danforth' that's the exonerated, the 'government' that's the blamed.

The file keeps Mount Carmel: the 1993 siege, the 76 dead, the fire, and the tear gas revelation.

Mount Carmel is the archive's Waco file — the siege's end.

Why this file matters

A compound keeps its dead — the file's suggestion being that Mount Carmel's hold is the contested: the 'deliberately set' that's the report, the 'pyrotechnic' that's the denied, and the '76' that's the dead.
