Harvey Fairman's ghost seems to be seeking justice in a rather dull way. It’s one of those stories that you hear and think, “Oh, that’s interesting,” but then you just kind of move on with your day. It’s been a while since 1884 when this whole ghost sighting thing happened in Wayne County, West Virginia.
So, there’s this guy, Alexander Moore. He was out hunting, and instead of finding a nice meal, he stumbles upon this bizarre goose-like creature only to find himself face-to-face with a ghost. Not the goose he was hoping for, I guess. The ghost, it turns out, is Harvey Fairman, who vanished five years prior while gathering firewood. Some folks think he just left, but others believed he was murdered. A search party couldn’t find him, and life went on—until this ghost decided to show up.
Fairman’s ghost was in quite a state—his throat was slit. It’s a bit gruesome, really, and you’d think that would bring some excitement to the story. But nope. He tells Moore he was murdered and his body was hidden under a granary. Then, poof, he just disappears, leaving Moore to trudge back home. There’s something about dragging yourself home after encountering a ghost that sounds exhausting.
Afterward, Moore went to a Justice of the Peace and relayed his ghostly encounter. They decided to look for the hollow tree and maybe check out the granary for signs of foul play. But here’s the kicker: Fairman didn’t even name his murderer or explain why he was killed. So, while they go looking for answers, it’s all just a bit anticlimactic.
As time went on, nothing really changed. Harvey Fairman’s quest for justice seems to have been forgotten, much like the ghost stories of the past. No new sightings or follow-ups. Just a ghost waiting around for something to happen that never does.
In the end, it’s a story that leaves you feeling a bit flat. Harvey Fairman’s ghost seeking justice? More like a ghost that fizzled out. There’s really nothing more to say about it. Just another tale lost in the shadows of time, with no real resolution.
