Baltimore, Maryland – Local paranormal investigators and historians are set to investigate a home in the Baltimore suburb of Owings Mills because it is said by its owners to be haunted. Haunted by the ghost of American icon Helen Keller. Helen Keller Ghost News Story

“I completely understand how some people might find this strange,” said homeowner Bill Marsden. “but there is no doubt in my mind that my home is haunted by the ghost of that poor woman.”

The Marsdens first noticed paranormal activities two weeks ago, when they said they saw objects moving around their living room of their own volition. “It started with my favorite coffee mug,” explains Julia Marsden.. “I set it down on the end table, and it slowly rose into the air. Then there was a primitive wail and the mug fell to the floor, getting hot coffee everywhere.”

Then came the noises. The Marsdens recount how they would hear awful banging sounds and witness loud, unintelligible cries as their furniture was knocked over. “That was the scary part,” Bill explains, “You could stand in the doorway and watch the furniture jerk as if someone had barked their shin on it, and you could hear a human cry. It sounded kinda like that deaf chick that was on Dancing With the Stars, or maybe the teacher on Charlie Brown. You know, “wah wah wah wah”. Toneless gobbledygook.”

Historians became convinced that the poltergeist was that of Helen Keller based on the eyewitness accounts and the fact that she made a home in the area in the late 1880s, and this home was where she learned to communicate with the outside world.

“It sounds like Helen because as we all know she was deaf as a post and blind as a bat,” said Professor Hubert Sanchez of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. “As such, she would bump into shit all the time, and wail like a retarded banshee when she became frustrated.”

Paranormal investigators agree. They told C-N-N that the fact that the furniture has been moved in the house in the last hundred years would really freak a ghost like Helen out, and she would probably be running into walls and banging her shins on end tables for the rest of eternity.
