Is Samuel Brown 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

Brown's farm is the first — the 'Caroline Quarlls' that's the '42 hid, the 'sixteen' that's the girl's age. The 'first documented' is the marked — the 'Wisconsin's first' that's the record kept, the 'St. Louis fled' that's the miles crossed. The 'Prairieville next' is the passed — the 'abolitionists took' that's the relay run, the 'Ontario reached' that's the Canada won.

The 'pioneer builder' is the doubled — the 'Juneau's store' that's the first buildings, the 'first lot bought' that's the '35 claimed. The 'farm to park' is the changed — the 'Johnson Park' that's the land's name now, the 'marker '95' that's the memory kept. Brown's is the seed — the 'first rescue' that's the network's start, the 'Wisconsin's line' that's the precedent set.

The file keeps Brown's farm: Caroline's hiding, the first record, the pioneer builder, and the park's marker.

Brown's farm is the archive's Wisconsin file — where the state's Underground Railroad started.

Why this file matters

Brown's farm is the archive's Wisconsin file — the first documented station in the state.

A farm keeps its first — the file's suggestion being that Brown's hold is the earliest: the 'Caroline '42' that's the record set, the 'sixteen' that's the girl's courage, and the 'Canada reached' that's the line proven.
