Ghosts of New Hampshire
East Kingston - 47 Depot Rd. (Rte. 107)
<http://www.hollowhill.com/nh/nh.htm>

Someone has been closing the doors, turning the lights on & off when no one is at home, and rattling pans in this house. It may be the ghost of Eva Philbrick (d.1920) [probably Grace Philbrick: see below] whose will specified that the house should never be sold at auction (it was, 1987), or the ghost of previous residents Arnold O'Brien or his mother, Edith.

East Kingston
Old Philbrick House

The Philbrick family built this Colonial Cape Cod home the 1830's, but the haunting did not begin until 1988 when Rich and Keri Marshall began extensive renovations on the home. There are now unexplainable loud noises, lights that work by themselves, and other strange occurrences. The identity of the spirit has never been identified, though the Keri's suspect a member of the Philbrick family is still at home.
Located at 47 Depot Road

Eva was the wife of Charles L. Philbrick.

The address of 47 Depot Road matches Census information for Charles in 1920; however, in the 1910 Census his wife is listed as "Grace S." not "Eva." Eva apparently is his 2nd Wife as she is living in 1930 having married Charles 8 years earlier. Perhaps the "ghost" is of "Grace S." if indeed Charles' wife died in 1920. Eva then comes along in 1922. Laura, Charles' mother is living with him in the 1920 Census. Both are listed as "wd" for widow/widower.
