Talk:Peabody-Whitehead Mansion

paranormal passage
Hey User:WJBLHWA, thanks for making other edits, but I don't see why you removed the passage:

"In a pre-Halloween roundup of Colorado haunted sites in 2021, Out There Colorado stated that Dr. Whitehead was a battlefield surgeon in both the Crimean War and in the American Civil War, and that 'he reportedly claimed to be able to see the ghosts of patients he wasn't able to save.' Then, 'Just after the turn of the century, Whitehead got sick and died inside the Peabody-Whitehead Mansion. Around a year later, the mansion's new tenant, Colorado Governor James Peabody, was in the midst of a political frenzy that resulted in two assassination attempts on the governor's life.'  And 'people started making reports of unusual occurences' in the 1950s.  The Out There Colorado article concluded: 'It is now believed that at least 12 spirits regularly haunt the house.'"

I am not a fan of covering ghost story claims, but this passage provides substantial details which would help a reader understand the claims that are in fact in the article:
 * that it was ghosts of patients he couldn't save, that Whitehead is supposed to have claimed to see
 * that he died in the house
 * that Peabody had assassination attempts going on when he lived there.

It's another matter whether you believe the accuracy of this source. But if so, stand back further from any appearance of accepting its info as truth, e.g. "it was written by so-and-so that X happened", can be a veriably true statement which serves the purpose (letting readers know about X claim).

And I was taken aback by author name Tamera Twitty, which I thought could be a prank name, but searching on the name establishes well enough for me that she is a real person. --Doncram (talk) 00:14, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
