Friends,
Spirit House was sold on Friday (11/4/11). The following was sent to me by one of our members:
"There was a closing this morning (Friday) on the property in Georgetown (in fact- closing on house and 2 vacant properties). The deeds went on record to Resurreccion Dimaculangan. The RP5217 (form filed with Co. Clerk for the State) shows that Resurreccion Dimaculangan is a person not a business or corporation.”
The buyer, a woman known as Rexie has been tangentially involved with the Spirit House Society. It is highly likely that she learned about Spirit House through our efforts. An SU professor emailed me in the late spring telling me that she was interested in our effort and was knowledgeable of museum history/work. I passed her name along to Steering Committee member John Patane who was responsible for the restoration and the physical aspects of the house and asked him to try and involve her.
John told me that he has had several conversations with her since. She attended our Cazenovia Spirit Fair on August 14th. I may have met her, but I tried to meet everyone that day and it was a crazy day for me.
She is on our email list. She never contacted us with her interest to purchase the house or made a stronger effort to be part of the group and help shape and influence our direction as others have.
As noted earlier everything is on hold. We will wait some time before distributing money raised to local historical/environmental groups. The below article about us in Sunday’s Post Standard is wrong about distributing money immediately; repeat money will not be distributed immediately as we have consistently said.

Sudden cash offer ends group's plans to buy Georgetown's historic Spirit House

Georgetown on Feb. 16, 2011.
Madis Senner was days away from filing a grant for state funding to buy and restore Georgetown’s historic Spirit House when he heard the news that the seller had accepted another offer on the property.But he went ahead with last weekend’s fundraiser to establish the proposed spiritual healing and retreat center and said this week he still is optimistic the Spirit House Society might find another way to make the project work.
“It doesn’t feel lost yet,” Senner said. “It feels like another impediment. We will have to see what happens.”Senner, who returned to Central New York after a career on Wall Street, discovered the Spirit House in 2006 while writing reviews of sacred locations.
He founded the Spirit House Society when the building went on the real estate market in 2009 at a list price of $89,900 and envisioned that activities such as educational workshops, guest speakers and holistic and psychic fairs could make the site financially self-sustainable.
» House of the Week, 8/14/09: Georgetown's Spirit House
It was a fitting next chapter for the rural Madison County landmark, which served as a place of pilgrimage for the growing Spiritualism movement in the late 1800s but had languished in recent years.
Senner spent the last year making presentations to local organizations about the group’s plans to purchase the landmark. The project attracted the interest of area preservationists and historians, as well as members of spiritual and religious communities.The group was in the process of applying for a grant from the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historical Preservation for acquisition of the 3.5-acre property and exterior restoration when Senner approached the seller in September to obtain a letter of intent to sell the house.
Senner said the seller had agreed to the sale in July, but later asked for a binding purchase offer that could only be superseded by a cash offer.
“We were a little surprised, but thought nothing of it,” Senner wrote in a letter to supporters distributed at last weekend’s fundraiser at Madison Hall in Morrisville. “At the insistence of the owner, we had agreed to pay several thousand more than a recent appraisal showed it was worth, just to make sure we would get the property.”
Senner would not say how much the society offered to pay for the building, but said that as he was preparing a formal contract, the broker called to say the seller had received and accepted a cash offer.
“We were shocked,” Senner said. “The broker assured me that a buyer mysteriously appeared after almost three years of being on the market.”
Senner said the news is particularly frustrating because of growing support from local tourism officials, who said the project could spur the local economy.
“Folks would come here, and then stop in Peterboro or go to learn about Matilda Joslyn Gage,” Senner said.
“The museum model struggles,” he continued. “Through our events we showed that spirituality could be an economic driving force that could help save Spirit House and possibly help other historic sites.”
Senner said one of his biggest worries revolves around the restoration of the historic site. Early estimates for needed repairs topped $200,000, with at least $78,000 to paint the ornate exterior.
“That is just to stabilize it, not even doing anything inside,” he said.
In less than a year, Senner has grown his vision into a group that boasts 80 members and has nearly 300 names on its email list. Senner declined to say how much recent fundraising events have brought in, but said the money would be distributed to local historical organizations when the property is officially sold to another owner.
The property’s owner, Valerie Wilson, could not be reached for comment.
Senner said he would continue to hold out hope until the property officially changes hands. In the meantime, fundraising efforts have been suspended.
“If the community can’t use it, I would see it as a loss,” he said of Spirit House.

Spirit House Sold??????????
Dear Spirit House Society Member,
In an update sent to you on September 29th we had noted that there was a cash offer made for Spirit House. It appears that this transaction will take place shortly. We will not be filing for a NYS grant on October 31st because the seller, Valerie Wilson, would not sign our purchase offer and told us of the pending sale. We don’t know who this buyer is or their plans. We are putting our operations on hold and will wait to see what happens. As promised we will distribute the money that we raised to local historical and environmental groups at the earliest in 6 to 12 months pending developments with Spirit House.
The Details: In late September we approached the buyer to get a letter of intent to sell the house, which we needed for our NYS Parks Grant Application. The seller had agreed to this in July, but now wanted a binding purchase offer that could only be superseded by a cash offer. We were a little surprised, but thought nothing of it. At the insistence of the owner we had agreed to pay several thousand more than a recent appraisal showed it was worth, just to make sure we would get the property. I told the broker that I would get her a formal contract shortly and was busy with the newsletter and planning for the Madison County Halloween. One week later I got a call from the broker telling me that the seller had received and accepted a cash offer for Spirit House. We were shocked. The broker assured me that a buyer mysteriously appeared after almost three years of being on the market.
When I called NY Parks they told me that they see this all the time. A buyer anticipating a grant, runs in front of a group and buys a historical home. She mentioned a home in NY Mills among others.
Since I began this effort almost a year ago a lot of good things have happened. One of our members, Joscelyn Godwin, wrote a book on Spirit House, a community of people with diverse interests has supported SHS, many of which will remain lifelong friends. We have also brought an enthusiasm and hope that extended beyond our group. Through our events we showed that spirituality could be an economic driving force that that could help save Spirit House and possibly help other historic sites. This is important because the museum model struggles. The many letters of support for our grant that we received witnessed the enthusiasm for the SHS from prominent Madison County officials and citizens. Many felt that Spirit House could become an international tourist destination and potential anchor for other historical places in greater upstate NY. We believe that as well and had just initiated our nascent “Burned Over District” effort to educate people about upstate NY’s gems, www.burned-overdistrict.org. Upstate is wonderful place, it just needs to learn as Socrates taught: “Know Thyself.”
To me it has always been about the land that encompasses SH. I feel that the SH property is a truly spiritual place that all should be able to enjoy and benefit from. It is something special; its owners have felt this. Alice Cossit’s family lived there almost 90 years and Helen Katorie refused to sell it for two decades fearing it would bring about her death. It is also a property that I believe selects its owners and sadly, at this time, it appears that our (SHS) dream of making it a retreat center open to all is not going to be a part of it.
We are going stop our fund-raising efforts, etc., and wait to see what happens. Perhaps Spirit House still will call. At some point all money raised will be given to local groups.
Sincerely,
Madis Senner

Orbs/Spirits--The Ghost Walk at Madison Hall in Morrisville on Oct 29th was very lively!
Are They Orbs, Spirits, Or??????
A Very Lively Ghost Walk
Madison County Halloween, Oct. 29th
Please see attached pictures.
We had a very lively and exciting ghost walk Saturday night (10/29/11) at Madison Hall in Morrisville; it was part of the Madison County Halloween, a fund raiser for the Spirit House Society. Attached you will find a copy of picture taken by a reporter (Mike Jaquays) for the Mid-York Weekly out of Hamilton. Graphic Designer Linda Donaldson of Imagine Design and Spirit House Society Steering Committee has put in some arrows to highlight the many orbs in the picture; the other attached picture does not have arrows. There are several house and car lights in the picture.
It’s About Mother Earth
Madis Senner dressed in a hunter’s costume is standing in front of Madison Hall right next to an earth chakra. Earth chakras (to see a video on earth chakras: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFNzglbm16o) like human chakras are power points where energy is pulled in to be distributed into the physical earth by Mother Earth. As noted in the talk it is at power points such as this where people can feel things, see things and orbs or spirits may appear in pictures.
The walk and talk was really more about exploring Mother Earth and the unseen world rather than a traditional ghost walk. People learned and experienced first hand how Mother Earth is often behind our mystical experiences and knowing her features and where to go is critical. Energy points can cause earth lights or give you a dose of energy that can help you see another reality. In other words, during a ghost sighting we are often either seeing an aspect of Mother Earth or we are being boosted by Mother Earth’s geomagnetic field which is empowering us to see another reality.
Participants visited many other places in and around Madison Hall. Everyone had a great time, many felt things.
Of course everyone smudged themselves afterwards.

Skits and Spooky Tales
Skits and Spooky Tales
Madison County Halloween
Madison Hall, Morrisville Oct. 29
The Madison County Halloween on Saturday October 29th from 10AM to 8PM at Madison Hall in Morrisville, NY will offer a unique blend of entertainment as well as a chance to chat with local historical associations and learn about Madison County. “We thought it important to bring together local historical associations and historic homes and Halloween provides a great opportunity to do so.” said Madis Senner of the Sprit House Society (SHS) that is organizing the event to benefit SHS. “A Halloween event gives us a chance to add a mysterious and spooky twist that will attract people and hopefully have them learn about Madison County and CNY’s rich history and our local treasures such as Spirit House,” Senner said. Admission is $5.
Skits—Loomis Gang and Fox Sisters
Susan Greenhagen (Morrisville historian) and her sister Dorothy De Angelo will be performing two skits. At 12 noon they will do their entertaining Loomis Gang shtick. The Loomis gang terrorized Central NY in the 1850’s and 1860’s, burned down Madison Hall and lived close to Morrisville. The skit will begin with their video on the Loomis Gang, Frontier Justice, followed by a dressed up Sheriff Bonnie telling the story of the Loomis Gang. At 6 pm, dressed up as Maggie and Kate Fox, they will perform their hilarious light hearted look at Spiritualism. Spirit House was a Mecca of Spiritualism in the 19th century and the Fox Sisters are credited with starting the Spiritualist movement in 1848. See picture below.
Iroquois Ghost Stories
Doug George-Kanentiio will entertain us with Iroquois Ghost Stories at 3 pm. Hear tales of sorcerers, stone giants and flying heads that are part of the Haudenosaunee Indian tradition. Truly a unique opportunity.
The mysterious Louis Muller
As much as Spirit House is shrouded by mystery, so is Louis Muller who escaped Napoleon to Muller Hill within 5 miles of Spirit House. It said that he always had a body guard next to him, created secret tunnels and hiding places fearing that Napoleon would send assassins to America to kill him. Who was Louis Muller? At 5 pm Madison County Historian Matthew Urtz will tell us, and lay the mysteries bare.
Historical Groups
The Oneida Mansion, the Abolitionist Hall of Fame, Morrisville Historical, the Peterboro Association and of course the Spirit House Society and more will tabling at the event and answering questions. Feel free to ask them questions about their efforts and Madison County history.
Spirit House, Healings
Talks on Spirit House will take place at 10 am, 2 pm and 7 pm. At 11AM and 4PM two healers from Madison County will provide us with insights on alternative therapies. Skits and talks will take place on the main stage on the second floor.
A Witch’s Brew
The Madison County Halloween will also feature ghost walks, children’s’ story tellers, a dash of psychics/readers, a pinch of metaphysical vendors and a handful of healers. There will be a silent auction. Fine food and sandwiches made with homemade breads by Red & White Café of DeRuyter; and of course their “monster cookies.” “It’s an eclectic group with a lot to offer, but I guess that is what the Spirit House Society is all about” Senner said.

A ‘Madison County Halloween’ Planned at Madison Hall
September 18, 2011 By margo Leave a Comment
Spirit House Society News
(Morrisville, NY – Sept. 2011) Madison Hall will be the place to be Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., for the Spirit House Society’s first-ever Halloween Spirit Fair.
The event will feature readers, healers, ghost walks, story tellers and more to benefit the Spirit House Society’s work in trying to purchase and restore the historic building in Georgetown.
Admission is $5, kids under 14 and dogs will be free; each child and dog must be accompanied by at least one adult. You do not need to bring your pet to get a reading.
Madison Hall provides a perfect location for this Halloween gala, given its grandeur, rich history and mystery.
This will be a unique event, which looks to bring together diverse interests and activities in one event all in the spirit of Halloween. Attendees will be able to browse for metaphysical items, get a healing or a reading, get a reading for their pets and learn about Madison County’s history, albeit with a mysterious Halloween twist.
A children’s storyteller is preliminarily planned for during the day.
Some of the things planned include readers (psychic, astrological, tarot and stone), healers (energy medicine, Reiki, homeopaths), metaphysical vendors, spirit and face painting, pet readers, ghost walks in and around Madison Hall, which is rumored to be haunted; Madison County Tales, in the spirit of Halloween hear about mysterious Louis Muller and the Loomis gang from historians; history/local flavor – local groups and historical societies will be invited to table so that you can learn more about Madison County and more.
We are still planning this event and hope to have some fun things to do in the evening.
Bob Canino, organizer and steering committee member, came up with the idea for a Madison County Halloween.
“I thought it would be good to have an event that is focused on and honors Madison County,” Canino said. “We were looking to create a signature event that people can come to year after year and benefit Spirit House Society.”
Canino was the lead organizer of the highly successful Spirit Fair at the Cazenovia American Legion Aug. 13 that drew more than 200 people.
Spirit House Society founder Madis Senner said the Society looks to have a fun-filled event that educates people about Madison County and particularly about Spirit House.
Senner felt it important to bring in history.
“The Spirit House Society is made up of people with diverse interests – preservationist and historically minded, as well as spiritually motivated people,” Senner said. “An event like this is an attempt to bring them all together and tell people what we are about.”
Senner felt it was also important to begin working with other local groups.
“We are in this together,” Senner said. “While we still have a long way to go in our effort to purchase Spirit House, it is never too early to begin working with similar groups.”
Madison Hall is located on Route 20 in Morrisville, adjacent to SUNY-Morrisville campus.

Children’s Story Teller—Tentatively planned.
More………………..
We are still planning this event and hope to have some fun things to do in the evening.
A “Madison County Halloween”
Bob Canino, organizer and steering committee member, came up with the idea for a Madison County Halloween. “I thought it would be good to have an event that is focused on and honors Madison County,” Canino said. Canino a resident of Madison County added “we were looking to create a signature event that people can come to year after year and benefit Spirit House Society.” Canino was the lead organizer of the highly successful Spirit Fair at the Cazenovia American Legion on August 13th that drew over 200 people.
Spirit House Society founder Madis Senner said that “we look to have a fun filled event that educates people about Madison County and particularly about Spirit House.” Senner felt it important to bring in history, “the Spirit House Society is made up of people with diverse interests—preservationist and historically minded as well as spiritually motivated. An event like this is an attempt to bring them all together and tell people what we are about.” Senner felt it was also important to begin working with other local groups saying “we are in this together. While we still have a long way to go in our effort to purchase Spirit House it is never too early to begin working with similar groups.”
About Spirit House Society
The Spirit House Society hopes to raise funds to acquire, stabilize, and restore the historic property on the National Register of Historic Homes for future use as a spiritual retreat center and historic landmark of the "Spiritualist" movement that bloomed in Central New York. Those interested in joining the Spirit House Society or in making a donation to the Society may contact Madis Senner at 315-463-5369. Members of the Spirit House Society will be available to discuss Spirit House and plans for restoration.

Thanks to Everyone
The Spirit Fair in Cazenovia was a SUCCESS
Thanks to the attendees, vendors and the media for helping making our (Spirit House Society) Spirit Fair in Cazenovia at the American legion this past Sunday, August 14th, a success.
About 200 people, not including kids and dogs came. A hundred people signed up for our newsletter and eleven new members joined the Spirit House Society.
Everyone had a good time. A few people brought their kids and several people brought their pets for a pet reading with a pet psychic. All added to a festive atmosphere.
It was not only a success for the Spirit House Society, but vendors participating did well also. Many readers were booked solid from 10am to 6pm. Red and White Café from DeRuyter served up some great dishes from mango muffins, to cauliflower curry soup, to sandwiches made with their homemade breads.
Some News clips
We got mention by just about by all of the media, most notably by the Post Standard on Saturday. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/08/spirit_societys_holds_fair_in.html
Channel 3 WSTM came by on Sunday; unfortunately I was not able to find the segment on their webpage. You can see YNN”s segment by clicking on: http://centralny.ynn.com/content/553581/spirit-house-society-hosts-benefit/
Building Our Business
The importance of this event goes beyond the fun we had and the money that we raised. It marks the beginning of building our business, or least one of our businesses focused on the metaphysical and spiritual side of things. We are building momentum call it energy, with our events, through our newsletter and members that we hope will transfer over to Spirit House. So that should we succeed in getting funding from NYS for purchase that we will be able to hit the ground running and hold events and attract people from the get go.
To Help Pay Architect
Money raised will help pay for preservation architects Crawford and Stearns and building up cash reserves. Carl Stearns is currently working on putting together a conditions report on Spirit House that we will need in applying for an acquisition grant with the New York State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Going Forward
Our next event is tentatively planned for Saturday October 29, 2011.

Today's Visit
Today's visit was a fun filled success. Terry Blowers stated that the House is structurally sound. Joscelyn Godwin brought a series of floors plans going back to the original house. Wow. Having the house gutted has exposed lots of old timbers and other features. Fortunately, some of the molding that had been pulled was kept. More coming............

We have set up a listing on Indiegogo http://www.indiegogo.com/Help-Save-Historic-Spirit-House for donations. As much as we hope to raise money we are also hoping to raise awareness about our effort nationally and globally. We hope that this will help us longer term should we be able to acquire Spirit House once we open the doors for visitors. It certainly gets us identified beyond the upstate NY area.

Article in the Chenango Evening Sun
http://www.evesun.com/news/stories/2011-02-11/11531/Georgetown-landmark-Spirit-House-sees-new-lease-on-life/
GEORGETOWN – Located just within the town limits of Georgetown in Madison County, the historical Spirit House has sat vacant for over two decades. Spiritual enthusiast and founder of the Spirit House Society Madis Senner is hoping to change that.
GA_googleFillSlot("ES_Medium_Rectangle_All");
Built circa 1868 by Georgetown resident Timothy Brown as a spiritual temple, the structure was originally constructed as a gathering place for the spiritualist movement between 1864 and 1885. At a time when New York hosted more spiritual converts than any other state, Georgetown, and the Spirit House, stood at the epicenter of the movement.
Registered as a national historic site in 2005, the structure will require tens of thousands of dollars in renovations, due to rain damage and neglect, said Senner. All of the interior walls have been removed, as well as the finished flooring and furnace. The recently formed Spirit House Society is hoping to, at a minimum, prevent further decay to the structure and, if possible, help to restore it, he added.

Madison County Courier Article
Group Looks to Restore Spirit House
Seeks Membership to aid Renovation Efforts for Georgetown Landmark
(Georgetown, NY – Feb. 2011) Members of the Spirit House Society (spirithousesociety.org) are looking to raise fund to purchase Spirit House in Georgetown and turn it into a spiritual healing and retreat center.
People interested in being part of the effort or donating to it should contact Madis Senner at 315-463-5369 or madiss@verizon.net.
Spirit House is a nationally registered historic site that has been described as looking like a wedding cake for its ornate design. Its outside scalloped walls give it a wavy appearance and its three-tiered cornice with downward pointing keys look like icicles.
Spirit House was built in 1868 by Timothy Brown to serve as a gathering place for Spiritualists. Brown testified that he was guided by Spirits in its construction. Every aspect of the home was designed to facilitate communication with spirits, from the closets built to be the exclusive domain of Spirits, to the windowless room where Spirits were called.
Unfortunately, some time before Brown’s death in 1885, townspeople closed down Spirit House when they discovered what they thought was a medium’s cheat sheet listing information from the town’s graves.
Spirit House has not been lived in or maintained for more than two decades. Because of rain damage, the house had to be gutted. The Spirit House Society hopes to – at a minimum – prevent further decay and hopefully help restore it.
Spirit House was put up for sale in 2009. For more information, visit spirithousesociety.org, spirithousesocietypictures.blogspot.com/ or spirithousesociety.blogspot.com/.

Board Meeting
Friends,
Lorraine and I attended the Georgetown Town Board meeting. We talked of our intentions and said that we encouraged input from the town. We gave out our contact information which will be posted in the town bulletin. Members were glad to know that something was being done with Spirit House and a few complimented saying that our project was admirable. There were a few questions of financing and how much that we would have to raise.
Sarah Davies Hasegawa showed up and I finally got a chance to meet her.

Posters and Media
Friends,
I spent the day putting up posters in southern Madison County--Morrisville, Hamilton, Earlville and northern county Chenango County--Sherburne, Norwich.
In the afternoon I was interviewed by Brian Golden of the Chenango Evening Sun at Spirit House. He said that we should be featured either Wednesday, Friday of this week. Afterwards I spent several hours meditating in the woods. The snow was thick and I need my snow shoes.
Brian pointed out an excerpt on the plaque in front of the house: "From 1870 to 1880 there were more Spiritualist conversions in New York than any other state and Spirit House was its center."
I may have read it back when I first discovered Spirit House, but don't remember. It certainly speaks to the power of place.
