“Ghosts” in Fremont.

 

            The old Clow house in Fremont, is said to be haunted.  Among the stories told is this one:  “Occupants hear strange sounds, beginning in the upper room with noises as of a scuffle, then a fall, then seemingly a heavy body is dragged over the floor down the stairs and ending at last by a sound as though a body had been thrown into the well which is under the kitchen.  The family is frightened as are others who have stayed and kept vigil through the night.  One evening when the struggle in one of the upper rooms had begun the watchers waited awhile, then taking a lamp rushed in. Something seemed to fall but they found an empty room.”  No one can account for the supernatural sounds and movements within the dwelling. Neighbors tell the same story as do the family.  They will move out at once for more congenial company than “ghosts”.
