This is a brief segment of the Hazel Frost tape and so I won't miss any of it, here it is as transcribed. Enjoy! Alta Jane Dudley: September 16, 1980. We're at a board meeting of the Alexander-Crawford Historical Society at the Dudley Cabin on Pocomoonshine Lake. Here is Hazel Frost and Ellie Sanford to talk about the Townsend house and ghost stories. Hazel, will you tell your story? Hazel Frost: Well, one night, Roy Carlow was boarding with me and we was sitting in the kitchen. I was knitting. I was sitting by the back kitchen door and he was by the pantry door, and all at once we saw the door knob turning that went out in the entry. It turned very slow. The door opened about a foot and stopped. I got up and I asked them to come in, and I set a chair and asked them to have a chair. I said, "It's cold out tonight. Would you like a cup of hot tea?" I said, "Are you walking?" Of course there was no answer. Roy, he was as white as a sheet and he says, "Will you shut up?" That's my ghost story. Jane Dudley: That's a pretty good ghost story. Ellie is going to tell one about her friend who lived over there in the house for what - about three years? Ellie: It wasn't that long even, was it? Jane Dudley: What was her name, Ellie? Ellie: It was Carlene and Bob Anthony. Jane Dudley: Who did they buy the house from? Ellie: Keerock Rook. He was the one who bought it from you, Hazel, wasn't it? Hazel Frost: No, bought it from Carleton Davis. Ellie: Ok, Carleton got in the middle there. Let's see, Bob Anthony worked in New Hampshire during the week and came home on weekends, and that left Carlene and her two children there all week long Jane Dudley: In that great big house. Ellie: In that great huge house and they only lived downstairs to keep warm in the winter, there. And, at 4:30 in the morning every morning, they heard footsteps coming across the upstairs hall, down through the stairs and the door opening at the foot of the stairs. They thought it was probably the farmer that had been in the habit of coming out every morning and getting the cows milked. Jane Dudley: Yes. What do you think of that, Hazel? Hazel Frost: Used to happen when I was there. Jane Dudley: It did? Did it really? Maybe it was Mr. Townsend. Hazel Frost: You know, I heard Aunt Lizzie tell that one time she was sitting to the dining room table, and she and Edie Brown, and I think Mary Browning, May Browning, was sitting there, too. And, they heard three raps very hard between the living room and the dining room and two weeks after that, Mr. Brown got killed. (According to John Dudley of the A-CHS, Harry Brown died in 1925, age 50. His wife was Edie. Lizzie was Charlie Brown's wife. Harry and Charlie were brothers.) Jane Dudley: Have you heard the footsteps, too, when you lived there? Hazel Frost: I heard the doors open. Jane Dudley: You head the doors open. Hazel Frost: Yes, and I stayed there two years all soul alone. Jane Dudley: Oh boy, you were brave. Hazel Frost: (Chuckle) As I said, I never hurt anybody that was ever in that house. Nobody would be wanting to hurt me, and there was plenty of room for them to live there with me.
