Lucy and "Gentleman" Johnny Burgoyne | Built in 1700 by Captain Jonathan Hunt, the house was the first in Northampton to be built outside the stockade. The staircase was originally designed as a secret passageway to an underground tunnel into the stockade and as a place for the Hunts to hide from hostile Indians. It is also said to have been used during the Civil War as an Underground Railroad Station for escaping slaves. The staircase was also said to be the site of clandestine visits between Captain Hunt's grand daughter, Lucy, and "Gentleman" Johnny Burgoyne, a Redcoat general held captive in the house during the Revolutionary War. Johnny never returned for Lucy after the war, but Lucy's and Johnny's ghosts are still said to wander through the house in search of each other. The house renovation has made the location of the staircase even harder to find, but every Halloween brave Sessions residents are led by the ghosts and departed spirits of Sessions to find the staircase. | |
