Former home linked to phantom-bird accounts.

Stonehouse at Reeder’s Alley is a historic house in Helena, Montana. Former home linked to phantom-bird accounts. Laura and George Duchesnay occupied the stone house; it later became a restaurant. Reported lore and claims include: Southwest Montana recounts waitress Michaela Crawford’s account of chirping and wings without visible birds.

Reeder's is the sung — the 'canaries' that's the woman's flock, the 'sang goodbye' that's the funeral's sound. The 'February twice' is the timed — the 'died '33' that's the month's mark, the 'renovation same' that's the women's luck. The 'scaffold fell' is the killed — the 'chimney fix' that's the builder's job, the 'no hope' that's the doctors' word.
The 'single men' is the housed — the 'shotgun flats' that's the rooms' shape, the 'miners first' that's the tenants' kind. The 'three matrons' is the saved — the '1961' that's the rescue's year, the 'artists' colony' that's the dream's form. Reeder's is the sung — the 'Halloween' that's the timing's mark, the 'canaries still' that's the alley's sound.
The file keeps Reeder's: the sung funeral, the timed February, the fallen builder, and the saved alley.
Stonehouse at Reeder's Alley is the archive's Montana file — the flats where canaries still sing.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Stonehouse at Reeder's Alley is the archive's Montana file — the tenements saved by three women.
An alley keeps its birds — the file's suggestion being that Reeder's hold is the sung: the 'canaries' that's the woman's flock, the 'February' that's the timing's rhyme, and the 'matrons' that's the rescue's crew.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Reported experience] phantom animal sounds: Southwest Montana recounts waitress Michaela Crawford’s account of chirping and wings without visible birds. The figure answers to Phantom canaries in the retellings. Stonehouse at Reeder’s Alley wears the claim the way old houses do: visibly, and without comment. It's a reported experience — real to the people who had it, unresolved for everyone else. 'Laura and her Yellow Canaries' carries the account. It's the sort of report that survives precisely because it asks you to listen, not look.
