Is Peter Wentz Farmstead 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
Wentz is the headquarters — the 'twice' that's the October '77 stayed, the '25 letters' that's the dictated from upstairs. The 'Germantown' is the planned — the 'October 4' that's the battle launched from here, the 'Saratoga' that's the news celebrated. The 'salute' is the shattered — the '13 cannons' that's the feu-de-joie fired, the 'windows broken' that's the too close.
The 'invoice' is the documented — the 'seven pounds thirteen' that's the Wentz billed, the 'food and drink' that's the army consumed. The 'Schwenkfelder' is the later — the 'Reverend Schultz' that's the bought '94, the '1969' that's the county acquired. Wentz is the twice-used — the 'before and after' that's the bracketed the defeat, the 'upstairs chamber' that's the slept in.
The file keeps Wentz: Washington's two stays, the Germantown plan, the Saratoga salute, and the unpaid-ish invoice.
Peter Wentz Farmstead is the archive's Pennsylvania file — the war room farmhouse.
Why this file matters
Peter Wentz Farmstead is the archive's Pennsylvania file — Washington's temporary desk.
A farmstead keeps its receipts — the file's suggestion being that Wentz's hold is the documented: the 'seven pounds' that's the invoice survives, the 'windows shattered' that's the salute too near, and the 'twice returned' that's the trusted ground.
