A Pirate’s Revenge

07.23.2005 | 9:04 pm | Massachusetts, Melrose, United States

A former owner of this house was the captain of a sea-faring vessel that was credited with sinking a pirate’s ship. A year after this battle, the captain disappeared. The house has changed ownership several times since then, mainly due to the hauntings the house possessed. In 1993, which was exactly 200 years after the disappearance of the captain, the son of the house awoke to get a drink. In the hallway, he encountered a scrawny pirate with four pistols dueling with the sea captain. In the morning, blood stains were seen on the couch. Other strange occurrences include loud bumps in the night, the sound of swords clashing, and strange growling noises. While adding an addition to the house, workmen discovered a glass bottle with a blood-stained ship inside. After this find, the hauntings ceased.
