Mary Ellen Spook Farm

In January of 1922, farmer Alexander MacDonald, his wife Janet, and their adopted daughter Mary Ellen fled their home in Caledonia Mills, Nova Scotia after a rash of poltergeist activity, including more than 30 unexplained fires. Though several researchers, journalists, detectives, and paranormal investigators would eventually examine the farm and house, the so-called “fire spook” was never fully explained.

The poltergeist activity that had plagued the household for almost an entire year included moving the cattle around when no one was in the barn, mixing ashes into the stored milk, and even braiding the tails of horses. Most notable, however, were the fires which earned the haunting its name.

The fires would spring up spontaneously all over the house and grounds, often far from the hearth or any other source of a spark. Everything from wallpaper to wet towels were said to burst into flame: it got so bad that the family organized a kind of “neighborhood watch” to guard against arsonists, though none were ever found. Eventually, the family fled the property for good.

Once the family moved out of the house, journalists and would-be paranormal investigators moved in. Even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was invited to explore the phenomena. Some of the most notable accounts include those of Harold Whidden, a reporter from the Halifax Herald, and police detective Peachey Carroll, who spent two nights in the house. During this time they both experienced several odd events, including the feeling of being slapped on the arm and face by phantom hands. Whidden was so troubled by his experiences that he never published them in his lifetime, though they have since been released by his family.

Another prominent investigator who visited the home for several days was Dr. Walker Franklin Prince, who concluded that the poltergeist activity emanated from the family’s then-15-year-old adopted daughter, Mary Ellen–this in spite of the fact that Dr. Prince, himself, experienced no unusual phenomena during his stay. Members of the family were even brought back to the house during his investigation in an attempt to “trigger” the ghost. Dr. Prince did, however, report unexplained rapping noises in his office back in New York for several weeks after he had completed his investigation into the Caledonia Mills “Spook Farm.”

Unfortunately for Mary Ellen, Dr. Prince’s suggestion that she was the cause, albeit unknowingly, of the fires and other poltergeist activity stuck with her throughout her life. People began calling her Mary Ellen Spook, and, according to some accounts, she was even confined to an asylum for many years. Regardless of the cause, after she and her family moved away from the farm in Caledonia Mills, the phenomena ceased.

However, that wasn’t the end of the story of the Caledonia Mills Spook Farm. Over the years, several other explanations have been put forth as new detectives attempt to solve the mystery. Edward J. O’Brien, a lecturer who stopped off at the nearby St. Francis Xavier University, posited that the fires might have been caused by radio waves passing through Caledonia Mills between the radio towers at Wellfleet, Massachusetts, and Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, though to modern science that theory sounds perhaps even more preposterous than “fire spooks.”

Arsonist or no, the Caledonia Mills legend persists. Even today, long after the farm and house have disappeared, people say that if you take home any item from the property, your house will burn down. According to one couple, who call themselves P.O.N.I. (Pair of Normal Investigators), “This has been tested by regular every day people and the buildings always catch fire.”

We all see them.

VIEWER AND READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED: The following report, image, and video may disturb some viewers, especially those with a history of sleep paralysis.

In 1992, sleep researchers detected a recurring phenomenon during studies in which subjects were hypnotized. Across multiple studies and spanning internationally, hypnotized participants reported sightings of 2 humanoid figures. Regardless of nationality, culture, or health status, these subjects reported alarmingly similar sightings. Aggregated data suggested that further study was necessary.

Over the next 30 years, research teams in 155 countries conducted nationwide sleep studies with the help of hypnotists, sketch artists, and as of 2017, even AI, in order to observe and explore this strange phenomenon. After compiling over 35,000 sketches and descriptions alongside correlated quantitative data, researchers determined that with a statistical significance of p = 0.01, all humans see the same 2 humanoid figures when placed in a hypnotic state*.

These figures are always seen in a pair and speechless, and more surprisingly, the subjects are unaware of any memory of the figures once aroused to a waking state. In order to determine if subjects could remember the figures, sketches from all studies were gathered, compiled, and constantly adjusted with the help of MIT’s AI technology to capture the most accurate visual of the figures as based on the hypnotized subjects’ descriptions. This process of fine-tuning eventually lead to the image below. After the second round of hypnosis, subjects in each study denied having seen the figures. The researchers also want to note that the subjects all have a calm affect after treatment.

Additionally, researchers from the Munich division created a 15 second video that is theorized to replicate the feelings and visuals one experiences when seeing the figures in a hypnotic state. The video can be seen below:

Subjects in the Munich division are shown the video after being placed into a hypnotic state, and with each study, subjects do not claim any conscious memory of the figures once awakened. However, when the subjects are placed into a hypnotic state again, each begins to panic and awaken once seeing the figures. Only again, the subjects do not recall the figures and report heightened levels of anxiety once Beta waves (14-40Hz) remain constant. In these subjects, their affect is marked as considerably less calm than in prior studies. Follow-ups on the participants indicate that subjects with a history of sleep paralysis report notable disturbances in sleep for up to 6 weeks prior to the study.

These findings lead researchers to enter Phase 3. Further research will be conducted to determine meaning behind this phenomenon and identify additional synchronicities. Researchers need the public’s help:

If you view the image or video of the humanoid figures and recognize or recall them, please contact MIT’s Sleep Department at [phone]. Qualifying participants have the opportunity to be compensated for their time and input.

*A hypnotic state is identified as a period of rest when the subject is capable of speaking, and Theta waves (4-7.5Hz) remain constant.

On This Day in Cryptid History

January 20th: In 2010, a strange looking thing was sighted over the skies of Norway by Per-Arne Milkalsen. After speculation over what the UFO could be, some suggested it was an Atmospheric Jellyfish, though these cryptids can easily be debunked as common phenomena.

Hi there! I’ve recently gained the confidence to create again, and to get back to it, I wanted to make and share a simple piece.

This coming Friday, I have a piece to share that caused actual fear responses in some friends! It’s anyone’s goal to evoke emotion with art, right? Hopefully I scare some of, but just a little ;)
