Is Riverview Farm 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
Riverview is the origin — the '1789' that's the Garrett born, the 'kidnapped servant' that's the formative event. The '2,700' is the count — the 'stationmaster' that's the most documented, the 'Wilmington' that's the moved to slave state. The 'vision' is the claimed — the '1813' that's the God told him, the 'God's poor' that's the dedicated life.
The '284 acres' is the farm — the '1688' that's the original house, the '1969 torn' that's the Holy Child playground now. The 'Ann Maria Jackson' is the passed through — the 'woman and 7 children' that's the brother Edward's, the '1858 letter' that's the Still received. Riverview is the seed — the 'face to face' that's the injustice witnessed, the 'Delaware base' that's the launched from here.
The file keeps Riverview: Garrett's birth, the kidnapped servant, the 2,700 assisted, and the torn-down house.
Riverview Farm is the archive's Pennsylvania file — where Garrett learned why.
Why this file matters
Riverview Farm is the archive's Pennsylvania file — the childhood that made a stationmaster.
A farm keeps its lesson — the file's suggestion being that Riverview's hold is the formative: the 'kidnapped servant' that's the child's witness, the '2,700' that's the life's answer, and the 'torn down but listed' that's the memory's marker.
