The Haunting
The legend says the MacDonald family fled after about 30 little fires broke out in the farmhouse in one day. Accounts also mention objects moving, animals disturbed, and Mary Ellen at the center of the case. The story reached newspapers and psychical researchers, turning a rural farm disturbance into a widely repeated Canadian ghost story. A careful entry should include the skeptical angle: later summaries of Walter Franklin Prince's 1922 investigation say he concluded Mary Ellen likely caused the phenomena in a dissociated state.
