Paranormal Activity at Griffith Homeplace.
"Sometime spirits are not just found in bottles"
Davis Griffith-Cox.
For over 130 years paranormal activity has been reported at Griffith Homeplace and continues on a somewhat periodic basis to this day. But the topic was carefully guarded and seldom discussed outside the immediate family, except by curiosity seekers who knew nothing of the truth. Now the stories are told -- "The Case of the Careening Cloisonné", "The Cuddling Partner", "The Levitating Loaf", "Andy and the Midnight Visitor", and many more.
The Griffith Homeplace in Terrell, Texas, has been the home of Griffiths since 1882. Davis Griffith-Cox, of the six generations to have resided at Homeplace, has written of unexplained but undeniable events which have been experienced not only by family members, including himself, but also its servants, sojourners, carpenters, construction workers and guests alike. Seldom sinister, the seemingly friendly ghosts are often identified as former family members still in residence. Or, as some staunch non-believers would suggest, the events are simply matters of happenstance.
