Amherst

The Amherst house

"Esther Cox, you are mine to kill"

Walter Hubbell, something of a showman, wrote a book called

The Haunted House

About the Amherst Poltergeist.

It does seem likely that Esther herself was the poltergeist agent, 

And that she had been disturbed in her formative period,

If you read the tale, by her relationship with her boyfriend 

Bob. The implication probably being that he made a sexual 

Advance at her which disrupted her sensibilities and being from

 a religious environment as she was, 

She felt guilty and unclean herself. 

Hence the incidents, the message above, and the fire setting.

It's an interesting story, and very much written as one by Hubbell.

Pity I can't write it all out on this blog.

I'll write up some of the interestinf features over the next couple of blogs.
