That is really a scary story. But I agree with you that it's a shame that the old farmhouse is gone. People often don't see the beauty of this places, but maybe, just maybe ... it's replaced with a new one because the old farmhouse was haunted? Although I really don't know ... if it was haunted, if the haunting will go away by just removing a building ... I guess there's a whole lot more to do to make the haunting stop.
It would be interesting to know why they tore the house down. Hopefully the ghost has moved on and found peace. Thanks for reading!
