Nathaniel Hawthorne(1804-1864), is one of America's most important authors with such notable
works as
The Scarlet Letter and
The House of the Seven
Gables. Named for his latter work, Hawthorne's birth home is in
Salem, Massachusetts, and the site of this ghostly photograph taken in 2004.
A tourist perusing the home snapped this picture in Hawthorne's former yard. Closer examination
reveals the apparent apparition of a small boy in the shrubbery,
peering over the wooden fence. It is believed the ghost is that
of a young Julian Hawthorne, Nathaniel's young son. A comparison of the
ghostly figure and a photograph of a 5-year-old Julian reveals a striking and unmistakable resemblance.
Built in 1668, the House of the Seven Gables is the oldest surviving
17th century wooden mansion in New England. It is open to the public year-round
from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
