Dear Kieran,

The write up looks great, I guess Baerbrook and it's ghosts are famous! I hope you all had a nice holiday.

The day after your visit we had a plumber and he brought an older man along as his helper. We were stunned that the helper said he knew the house because he had grownup just up the street. He remembers many of the people that lived at our house and the house next door. Apparently, the homes were owned by a rather large family with the names of Kalahan and Brinker. They owned some lands across 447 as well as land on either side.

This man said that our home was never a vacation home but always a primary residence. The original people, the Kalahan's, may be related to John Joseph Kalahan from Yeadon, PA. This man played baseball with the minor leagues and was called up to play with the Athletics (later called the Phillies) around 1913. He played only the one game. He remembers Mr Kalahan in the 30's as driving a shiny large cadillac, with a jeff cap and smoking a cigar. His description reminded meof Broderick Crawford. He did not live full time in the Poconos, but lived next door and spent most of the time between our home and his with all the family.

The other family was the Brinker family who were related to the Kalahan's. The old man remembers Art Brinker who lived next door. His son Milton Brinker lived in our house. Eventually, Art became too old and came to live with Milton. He died in our house. The old man remembered Art as a kind and gentle man who loved this area and loved our home. When I asked if Art played the violin, he said he wouldn't be surprised since there was no reception for radio, so the Kalahan/Brinker clan amused themselves by beingvery musical. They all played an instrument.

Since the investigation, we have had only one experience. My friends and I were all in the bathroom and without anyone near it, a half a roll of toilet paper unraveled itselfas we all watched. That was interesting!! Another rather strange turn was when we took our family pictures in front of the Christmas tree this year in XXXXXXX, orbs appeared. This is the first time we ever had orbs in our pictures in XXXXXXX. I guess our friends from Canadensis came home for the holidays!

Thanks again for your investigation. I wish I knew what happened with the house next door and whether or not it sold and to whom. If you find anything else out, please let us know.

Thanks,

Christine Torban
