House with an Evil “Soul”
Last night, at the Poetry read, “Synergy,” at North Kingstown Library, I asked how many believed a home took on the spirit(s) of the occupants. Half the room’s hands went up. I then told them I lived in an evil house, in Edgewood, Rhode Island, for 8 years, a period of time when my family…
