In Springfield Vermont, stands the Hartness House Inn
\nan elegant, looming gables mansion built in 1904
\nonce the home of James Hartness, an inventor extraordinaire
\na governor of Vermont, an aviator, an industrialist and more
\nin want of a quieter environment, he a built a network of tunnels
\nunder his mansion, a subterranean sanctuary with
\na library, a workshop, a study and an apartment<\/p>\n
twenty years after Hartness died in 1934, the mansion was
\nconverted into an inn, and the ghost of Hartness is believed
\nto be haunting it: strange sensations, lights flickering, rocking chairs rocking by themselves, objects fly off shelves, sounds of someone murmuring<\/p>\n
but smart as Hartness was, if he is haunting the mansion,
\nwhy couldn\u2019t he find his way to the Light?
\nor is he locked into doing what he still thinks is material world work in his subterranean, tunneled haunts? <\/p>\n
