Charles Street Schoolhouse

Newburyport, Massachusetts

The record

Between 1870 and 1875, reports of knocking and moving doors drew crowds to Newburyport's Charles Street school. Teacher Lucy Perkins reportedly encountered a translucent boy. Boston Globe coverage and an 1873 pamphlet preserved the controversy. The building later became a private residence, with no public access implied.

Paranormal explanations remain claims, not established facts. Read the original sources for context.
