The Boston House
In 1901, a woman hanged herself in the attic of this building. The attic, which now serves as an attorney’s office, is haunted by the woman. The woman now haunts the buildings. Her visits occur so often that the story has been featured in the local newspaper numerous times.

I HAVE LIVED IN FORT. PIERCE ALL MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY KNEW THE STORY OF THE BOSTON HOUSE AND TOLD IT FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. A WOMEN AND HER HUSBAND AND LITLLE BOY LIVED THERE AND THE BOY AND HIS FATHER WENT FISHING AND A BAD STORM CAME AND THEY NEVER RETURNED AND THE WOMEN STAYS THER WAITING FOR HER HUSBAND AND CHILD TO RETURN. I HAVE DROVE INDIAN RIVER A MILLON TIMES AND HAVE WITNESSED MYSELF HE LADY. I HAVE ALSO BEEN INSIDE AND ONLY WHEN WE GOT INTO THE ATTIC OR CLOSE TO IT WOULD YOU FEEL A PRESENCE. THE BOSTON HOUSE IS INDEED HAUNTED AND YOUR STORY IS WRONG, GOING WAY DOWN INTO MY FAMILY LINE WE KNEW THAT FAMILY. AND I WOULD APPERCIATE IT IF YOU COULD XORRECT YOUR STORY. I HVAE ACTUAL WRITTEN LETTERS FROM THAT WOMEN AND MY GREAT GREAT GREAT..(AND SO ON HOWEVER FAR BACK) GRANDPARENTS TALKING OF HA HAD HAPPENED AND HOW THEY FELT.

i was born and raised in fort pierce and have lived in the area almost my whole life (20plus years). When i was a kid, my older sisters told me about the BOSTON HOUSE being haunted. The woman hanging herself i remember, but what freaked me out was what my sis told me happened later. Late 1980s or early 1990s another woman had a paranormal experience in the BOSTON HOUSE. She was heading downstairs (from the attic, im guessing) and a force pulled her back up until she finally forced herself back downstairs and out of the building. I definitely believe that place is haunted because i have heard of way too many incidents concerning that place and the events and hauntings that took place.

Okay I to believe it’s haunted but the house was built 8 years later! How could someone hang themsleves when the house wasn’t even built. I have had 2 experinces there, they are a cold spot which might have been her touching me (the woman waiting for her family)and actulally seeing her.

welll when i was in middleschool i went to dan mccarty middle( who of which owned the boston house but lived across the street right next to the boston house) and we always walked through downtown cause they couldnt afford a real feildtrip but the tour guides said that her husband and kids went fishing and they never returned so she was worried and stared out the window everyday hoping they would come back. =p thats what they told me!

i have been to the boston house but never seen the ghost. The story that i herd was that the father and son went fishing across the street in the river and they were swept away by a current. i also went there in grade school. there are many huanted houses in fort pierce florida for any thrill seekers. and may good ones in jensen beach about 14 miles south.

Here is a website that will help clear things up a little.Also I was refering to two different stories about the hauntings. 1) the woman who hanged herself and 2) the Perkins family.

The haunted park a couple of you were talking about earlier, Oak Hammock.. ive been there a few times..ive lived in psl (port st lucie), for ten years now… every once in a while me and gf and a couple friends would mess around in the park, outta sheer boreddom.(coming from someone who lived in a haunted house for years before i moved here, so i believe in haunting spirits and ghosts). and the park is NOT anything to worry about. the story is that three girls were murdered under the “haunted” tree or also knows the devils tree, and every once in awhile you could hear screams coming from the tree,from the park exit, and the girls bathroom..like i said the park is not anything to get exited about its a blocked of trail walk-way after 7PM…and port st lucie pd patrols the area…but if you want to try the tree and try your luck, there are two trails that lead you to the tree, the right side,by the river, and the left side (by the picnic tables)… once you get back in the trail, its the biggest tree back there you cant miss it..PS. if anybody’s gunna try it, bring a flashlight, because there are people back hiding in there just d***ing around wearing black hoodies…just to scary you….they wont kill u, just scare you for laughs….be careful though…its dark back there…. thanks…

THX Chewy. I’ll be sure to take ur advice if I to Oak Hammock to see the tree. I live here in fort pierce so it is a disgrace to me that the story should be the one you can’t prove in any way. I have even done a report on the house and all the reports I read had to do w/ either the the incident that happened with the youngest Jones( orignal family in the Boston House) or the Perkins story. Not one of the reports had to deal w/ the woman that hung herself. SO HA!!! take that!!

I can tell you that the story of the hanging isn’t founded in fact. There are quite a few unique occurrence at the Boston House, though. I’ve detailed as many of them as possible on The Grim Society website- you can find the post mentioned above includes all of the factual evidence we were able to gather on the history of the house.
In regards to Oak Hammock Park, we have also done quite a bit of research into the reported activities at that location. The information we were able to turn up can be found under the post ‘Examining An Urban Legend’ here: http://thegrimsociety.com/2007/09/25/examining-an-urban-legend/
We also have done a bit of follow up, which can be found under the search key ‘The Devil’s Tree’, which you can pull up here:

I hope this helps to clear up any confusion about these two locals.

Why don’t they just hire the ghost lady as a secretary? It’s not like ghosts that haunt places have anything better to do. Gotta get boring don’t ya think?
