PARANORMAL INVADES NEW HAMPSHIRE HOME

KINGSTON - Ever since the Kuzarian family purchased a Depot Road home in
1986, Yvette said strange things have been happening.

Fly nests covered the house windows, she said. Random objects started to
levitate, she said. She said they heard voices and saw people in their
30-year-old house and yard.
Yvette Kuzarian said it all started happening 19 years ago when they
began building a horse-riding arena on their six-acre property.
"I gave riding lessons and we needed to put an arena out front,"
Kuzarian said. "Once we started digging for the foundation, weird things
started happening. Someone didn't want us digging up the earth."

Kuzarian shared her story with Raymond residents Kathleen Chamberlain
and Barbara Edgar, who are filming a documentary on haunted places in
the Raymond area for cable access Channel 22. The ghost-hunter team
talked with Kuzarian at her haunted home on Monday.
More than 200 years ago the property was a cow pasture where Kingston
farmers brought their cattle to graze. Kuzarian says smack-dab in the
middle of the pasture is New England's oldest apple tree, which she
believes was a meeting place for townspeople. Kuzarian had the tree
classified by University of New Hampshire agriculturists. She was also
told an old stagecoach road lined the stone wall at the rear of her
property.

When the Kuzarians bought the Depot Road house in 1986, it had been
abandoned for years for unknown reasons. When family members started
work on the horse arena, they said they started to sense the presence of
ghosts.
"My hair would stand straight up on end," she said. "When I went up into
the loft I felt threatened. My students would hear people talking and no
one would be there."
She said she was starting to lose business. Some of Kuzarian's students
stopped taking classes because they were scared of the strange
happenings, she said. Students would see a horse in the stall but then
turn back a second time to find nothing there. Her 16 horses also
started to act up. She even had a therapist and reiki specialist come
and perform acupuncture and other treatments on the horses. Not long
after the arena was built, it collapsed for unknown reasons.
"Reiki specialists said I have a lot of spirits here on the property. I
thought I was going insane," she said.

Other times while in the barn out back, where Kuzarian used to have an
antique shop and horse stalls, she said she'd sometimes feel someone
hugging her.
Kuzarian had an outdoor riding ring in the back of her house. The lights
around the ring would go on and off at random times, she said.
By 1989 she was so frustrated by all the strange events, a friend
referred her to Wiccans, a neo-pagan religious group with beliefs in
magic and witchcraft.
"I was at a point where I couldn't do this anymore. We are Catholic and
our priest gave us holy water to spread around the house. That worked
for a short time but the noises came back," she said.

When Wiccans came to "cleanse" her home, they and some of her riding
students were standing in the kitchen when a battery pack that was
sitting on the counter began to hover in midair, she said. The battery
pack then flew through the air and hit the family dog on the head. They
all ran out of the house screaming.
"It seemed like a poltergeist," Kuzarian said.
The Wiccans walked around the house with lighted white candles looking
for negative spirits. When the smoke from the candle became black, the
Wiccans spread sage along the corners of the rooms. They also used sea
salts and garlic. After that, a lot of frightening events stopped
happening, she said.
"Every once in a while I see someone standing at the door but nothing is
there. It didn't stop the activity, (but) it got rid of the bad stuff,"
she said.

When her husband, George, was working in the yard a couple of weeks ago
he said he heard someone say, "Hey, what are you doing?" When he turned
around no one was there, she said. While Kuzarian's mother was sleeping
in a guest room in the basement, she said she saw a man in yellow
slicker walk by the door. The next morning she asked why George had to
leave in the middle of the night when he never left the bedroom.
"Some people say the images are just negative energy," Kuzarian said.
"We still see people in the house and have weird smells."
Chamberlain, who is working on the Channel 22 documentary, said she
wonders if any unusual rituals were performed on the property hundreds
of years ago.
