Hey there friend!
I’ve got a fun podcast episode for you this week. I’ve been asked directly and in round about ways if our home is “haunted.” For some reason the word “haunted” seems dark and unfriendly and this home is certainly opposite from that. Many of the Wehr family members were born in our home and came back at an older age where they did pass away here and community members would come to pay respect to the deceased in the parlor, otherwise known today as our bedroom (Ha!). It was very common to for the elderly to return home and be cared for by their family as there were not assisted living/retirement facilitates back then making it a common practice to return home.
Since moving in, we have encountered some interesting things around the homestead. Occurrences that couldn’t be denied while others have made us pause in question. When these occurrences began after moving in, I reached out to past residents and sure enough they too had experiences such as hearing such as clanging buckets and seeing a man inside the home. Tune in to today’s podcast to hear what our family has encountered over the past four years!
Happy Halloween!
Xo,
