Open research question
Locate the earliest traceable published account of paranormal activity associated with the Joshua Ward House, separately from the later Giles Corey and George Corwin legends attached to the site.
A source, research note, or further-reading link closes this question when staff accept it. Evidence and corrections stay attached for staff and do not close it by themselves.
Staff review every contribution before it is added to the file. A correction is a proposal: accepting it does not replace the official record. Rejected items are handled like rejected case submissions.
