"This one that has ghost stories in it...rather amusing tales of "haints" that people have seen or heard about.
The talk of corn shuckin's and quiltings and other community affairs really made me realize how much the industrial revolution changed our lives forever. Not just the skills but the community togetherness that these people had. All workin' and livin' and helpin' each other through good times and bad.
I'm probably romanticizing way too much, but it's appealing to think about. Seems we've lost the ability to be sociable or something."
