INVESTIGATION REPORT

COBBLESTONE FARM   ANN ARBOR, MI

# OF INVESTIGATORS= 11     WEATHER= 52F   PARTLY CLOUDY, LITTLE TO NO WIND.   MOON PHASE = WAXING GIBBOUS

COBBLESTONE FARM, ESTABLISHED IN THE MID 1800'S IS NOW A MUSEUM WHERE EVERYONE CAN ENJOY IT'S PERIOD FURNISHINGS AND STRUCTURES AND LEARN ABOUT HOW LIFE WAS "BACK IN THE DAY" IN AMERICA. ONCE COVERING ALMOST 400 ACRES, THE FARM NOW SPANS ABOUT 4 ACRES. MANY OF THE ORIGINAL OUT BUILDINGS BURNT DOWN IN 1924, BUT THE STONE HOUSE REMAINS IN ALL ITS GLORY. A NEW BARN WAS CONSTRUCTED IN THE 1980'S AND A 1937 LOG CABIN WAS MOVED TO THE PROPERTY FROM WILLIS, MI. VISITORS CAN ATTEND SEVERAL EVENTS AT THE FARM EVERY YEAR, DURING WHICH STAFF MEMBERS DEMONSTRATE AND TEACH ABOUT FARM LIFE. THE FARM HAS SEEN ITS SHARE OF TRAGEDY OVER THE YEARS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DEATHS OF CHILDREN FROM TUBERCULOSIS. THERE IS A FRIENDLY FEELING INSIDE THE HOUSE; ONE CAN SENSE THE STRONG PRESENCE OF FAMILY MEMBERS GOING ABOUT THEIR DAILY BUSINESS.  THE KITCHEN, ALWAYS A BUSY ROOM IN ANY HOME, GAVE US THE FEELING OF BEING SURROUNDED BY THE HUSTLE & BUSTLE OF COOKING & PREPARING FOR MEALS. THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS, WHERE UP TO TWELVE PEOPLE SLEPT IN THE HOUSE AT ONE TIME, HOLD A FEELING OF WARMTH. THE DOWNSTAIRS PARLOR, OFFICE, AND OTHER ADJACENT ROOMS HAVE A FEELING OF SADNESS. IN THE STOVE AREA WITHIN THE LOG CABIN SOME OF US FELT A STRANGE VIBRATION COMING THROUGH THE FLOOR. WE ENJOYED OUR VISIT VERY MUCH, AND HOPE TO GO BACK FOR MORE INVESTIGATING IN THE FUTURE. THE STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY & KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND MOST WILLING TO SHARE STORIES WITH US ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE FARM AND IT'S OCCUPANTS-SOME OF WHICH MAY STILL RESIDE THERE. DURING OUR INVESTIGATION WE ALSO HAD LOTS OF CAMERA MALFUNCTIONS AND BATTERY DRAINS.
