Title: Looking For Fairfax Ghost Stories
Post by: Henry on March 16, 2009, 11:05:41 AM

Janet Bonneau is exploring the idea of writing a series of ghost stories relating to Lake Champlain and Rte. 7, and wondered if you might know of any 'ghosts,'  'ghost sightings,' and, in general, haunted areas in the surrounding areas of the Champlain Valley, which might include Fairfax?

She is aware the child ghosts who supposedly haunt the Highgate Manor, but is just casting her writer's net to find out any information that might be useful for this project.

I had some guests over around Christmas time. They had a couple of dogs with them. My house is 1837. The dogs stayed up all night keeping my guests up. They swear my house is haunted. They heard doors closing and all sorts of noises. I my self haven't heard much I sleep in a part of the house that is newer. My kids sleep through everything they are teenagers. I did pull out the Ouija board and asked it how many people died in my home it said 8. I didn't ask it anything else. I am wondering if any records out there knows if 8 is correct.

Tom, don't know if the number 8 is right or not, but if you would like to see the previous owners of the house, starting in 1845, click on the following link:

I noticed a Dr Reynolds owned the house. Does anyone know if he practiced out of the house and what kind of Doctor he was.

Dr. Reynolds was a regular practitioner.  He was the father of Old Andrew King's wife, grandfather to Everett King.  I have seen many a document with his signature at the Fairfax Town Office.  Everett King might be familiar where his office was.
