I'm posting this once more because I think there's more traffic now, but this is the same question I had in >17898459
And while someone said >durr, city hall, um, yeah, durr, I tried that.
Basically, I can't find the history on a house I used to live in where something spoopy happened and would like actual advice from someone who has done this. Here's the story:
When I was about 7, we moved from a shitty apartment complex to a podunk little town in a townhouse because my dad got enough of a promotion to dig us out of poverty. Before then I had imaginary friends, like most little kids that age, that, in my heart of hearts, I knew was my own invention. But when I moved to the house, I started hanging out with Elmer.
I thought it was funny that Elmer was named that, like "Fudd," but he didn't care much for any jokes around his name. So, as not to build suspense, I could see Elmer and others could not. It wasn't like an imaginary friend. We hung out together until I hit puberty, and we started meeting less and less, which seemed fine at the time. But my mother remembers him as an imaginary friend and what's more, she said that I said, "you have to ignore the blood coming from his ear." Apparently, and I don't remember this, when my mother asked me to describe him, there was blood coming from his ear.
Now I'm willing to dismiss everything as the product of an overactive imagination of a child, but recently I've been thinking a lot about Elmer now that I have a kid of my own, and I want to look into the history of the house. But I can't figure out how. I can find the blueprints but even the town's historical society doesn't seem to be much help. They just sent me to ancestry which doesn't help me much.
Anyway, if you help me with figuring out how to research the history of a house, I will post anything spoopy I find. Thank you. Also, questions may be entertained.
