Fiona Broome’s Tenney Gatehouse podcasts

November 5, 2009 by Common · Please Comment 

From Paranormal Investigator Fiona Broome’s website Hollow Hill:

tenney-75While the October 10th (2009) fundraiser at Tenney Gate House was a tremendous success, some people asked questions afterward.  Here are my replies, and a new recording about Tenney Gate House.

  • Some people thought that I’d organized the event.  I didn’t.  The event was managed by the Essex County Ghost Project, and supported by the Pelham Paranormal Researchers.  I was merely one of the speakers, and — like everyone involved — I appeared at the fundraiser, free of charge.

I’m delighted that the event raised so much money for the Methuen Historical Society, to help as they continue to restore and maintain Tenney Gate House and nearby Grey Court Castle ruins.

.

.

I’ve summarized what I said, in two recordings.  You can listen to them here (as MP3s). One is a brief talk about the Tenney site. The other is a 16-minute podcast about ghost hunting without hi-tech tools.

MP3 recording: Tenney Gate House – history & ghosts

MP3 recording: Ghost hunting without high-tech equipment (That’s my regular podcast for 6 Nov 09.)

GatehouseInvestigation – Tenney Gatehouse ghosts
Oct 14th, 2009 | By Fiona Broome

Tenney Gatehouse and the Greycourt Castle ruins are among Methuen’s historical treasures… and among that city’s most haunted locations.

At a fundraiser on Saturday, October 10th, 2009, I was among the investigators invited to Tenney Gatehouse by the Essex County Ghost Project and Pelham Paranormal Research.

The 2009 event sold out almost immediately, and raised over $600 for the Methuen Historical Society to restore and maintain Tenney Gatehouse. Thank you to all who participated in this event!

Investigation – History of Tenney Gatehouse
Oct 14th, 2009 | By Fiona Broome

Tenney Gatehouse (37 Pleasant Street, Methuen, Massachusetts) and the nearby Greycourt Castle ruins are great, gently-haunted sites. They’re ideal for first-time ghost hunters.

I compiled the following history from a variety of sources. I’ve done my best to be accurate, but I only briefly surveyed the history. There may be errors in this report.

The Methuen Historical Society is a far better resource for your research, and their information will be more accurate than mine.

In this summary, I’ve included story elements and additional notes that could relate to the hauntings at Tenney Gatehouse and Greycourt Castle.

(Note to ghost hunters: This is the kind of research that adds depth to any investigation. It reveals the most likely “hot spots” for on-site research, and can support existing ghost stories.)
