Is Stephen Bogue House and Marker 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
Bogue House is the raid — the '1847 Kentucky' that's the slave catchers came, the 'Rube Stephens' that's the cabin fled. The 'attic' is the hid — the 'visitors enter' that's the space preserved, the 'Crooked Creek' that's the M-60 corner. The 'Vandalia' is the founded — the 'donated land' that's the village platted, the 'daughter married' that's the Bonine joined.
The 'anti-slavery Friends' is the split — the '1843' that's the own meeting started, the 'disqualified' that's the Quakers expelled him. The 'William Jones' is the nephew — the 'end of the line' that's the successful stop, the 'calmed' that's the raid defused. Bogue is the boulder — the '1931' that's the women's club marked, the '1840-50' that's the stone dates it.
The file keeps Bogue: the Kentucky Raid, the attic hiding, Vandalia's founding, and the boulder's mark.
Bogue House is the archive's Michigan file — the raided station.
Why this file matters
The Bogue House is the archive's Michigan file — the Quaker the catchers raided.
A house keeps its attic — the file's suggestion being that Bogue's hold is the survived: the 'Kentucky Raid' that's the armed intrusion, the 'attic open' that's the hiding shown, and the 'expelled Quaker' that's the too radical for Friends.
