So as I was sitting here trying to figure out what to write about I remembered a strory from my hometown. In my town of Falmouth, there is a really historical mansion and theatre (that used to be a stable). Some of you may have heard of it, it is called Highfield Hall. The original owners owned the buildings as well as numerous acres of land back in the early 1900's. They were a very wealthy family who summered down on the Cape from Boston. One day there daughter fell in love with the stable boy. When her father found out he killed her boyfriend, all because he was from a different economic class. When the daughter caught wind of this she took her own life. Today it is said that she still haunts the property, wandering around screaming her lovers name.
Some of you may be wondering what this has to do with class, but I thought it would be interesting to note how economics and relationships have changed. Less than a hundred years ago it was frowned upon to date outside of your class. Today that usually isn't a main thought of people when they look at a couple.
The picture you see posted is an image that they caught of the Ghost inside the hall.
Whoa. I have never heard of this. I suppose I can't be too surprised. Massachusetts is pretty well known for having quite the collection of historical ghost stories. It sounds like this could be a movie..if it isn't already.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of Massachusetts, I'm surprisingly proud of rights we give our people. We have come a long way as a country, but I believe even farther here in Massachusetts
ReplyDeleteIt is weird how things are entirely different these days, it may as well be on another planet. I wonder if people 100 years ago could have ever imagined that the world would be the way it is now, I don't think so, I mean the internet...they probably would think it was a form of witchcraft. I like the picture of the "ghost", I wonder how credible it is...
ReplyDeleteConsidering that the Puritans that settled here beleived that everyone was destined for hell, no matter what you do, I believe we have come a long way lol. And yes, that does sound like a ghost story I've heard about, sad really.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard that story before. It is so sad to think that people were kept apart because of something as trivial as social class. We definitely have come a long way since then, thank goodness.
