How far do any actual "Truths" become stretched? Distorted?
How many sq. Feet? How long to go through? How succesfull? How to measure "success"?
I put on a highly narrated show/experience here. I have always believed the old saying--"Nobody has a good enough memory to be a totally successful LiAR!".. they sort of scoop up , weigh" the lies eventually.
I talk about the actual history of this house. "History" as mostly defined by actual human experiences here. How do I find out about such things? I listen to what people tell me, then decide how truthfull they seemed to me. I do discount some of the extreme "Holly Wood Movie stories" Some will be telling....
A huge number of people have stories concernig this house from they themselves living in these 3, later 5 apartments or stories told to them via their relatives who once lived here.
Another large block of stories also come from past patrons of my house and former employees ( a few of which went running from here , some never to return), my Ex-wife, my Wife, and of course my own personal events while on this property.
Old courthouse records , going on-line serching old newspaper accounts have shed some new light on the past owners and their families, information open to several interputations.This house has been a Haunted House long before I was born, and that is a long, long time ago!
The tally of the hours I could speak concerning such things is more than I could ever accomplish for any one tour of the house.
My "Embellishments" only happen as to my choices as to the style of the storytelling as far as going for their entertainment from the storytelling style, word choices, and the end result I think they wish to have from it. But the facts are "Facts". No embellishing.
Not a common thing, but sometimes re-telling these stories I actually do become emotionally involved and even overcome on rare times by these events but then early death, prematurely leaving this life at the hand and whim of a close relative .....well, there just could never be anything worse, but such a thing is within the History here.
The victim's grave markers are on the next hill in the city cemetary, some of "them" might still be ... here...
