Summary
This is PART TWO of our conversation
Winchendon, Massachusetts, is home to two historic properties overseen by the Winchendon Historical Society. But preserving history at the Murdock-Whitney House and the Isaac Morse House has come with some surprises.
Don O'Neil, President of the Winchendon Historical Society, shares what it’s like to care for not one, but two reportedly active haunted homes. From unexplained footsteps and voices to reports of protective, territorial spirits—especially in certain bedrooms—both houses have developed reputations for activity that doesn’t fade with time.
Don never expected to encounter the unexplained himself. But after hearing his name called by unseen voices and experiencing events he can’t rationalize, even he was forced to reconsider what still lingers inside Winchendon’s historic homes.

I mean, the way it's set up to, there's no way we could kind of segregate them off. Yeah, that's true. So we lock up anything that is of value or like we really wouldn't want people handling is locked in a case. |
