The Martin House (book image did not load)There have been many questions regarding this not-so-small house located along the Gulf Coast. I have brought it to paper. No one tells what happened so many years ago. It is as if they are hiding the truth for whatever reason. The Martin House is riveting and captivating. It is conceivable that the characters were on a mission to get to the bottom of all the secrets and lack of information that was shared. I spoke to many people that had first-hand encounters with the house and the entities that protected it. The mist that came from the bay was described as being a type of camouflage for the ghostly beings that lingered to resolve whatever unfinished business that they left behind with the living.
When information is secretly being withheld from the public, it forces the imagination to take over. After researching what little records I could my imagination took control. I hope it is all that has been longed for.
An answer was needed and so therefore I delivered it…

The Martin House

This book is pretty high on my list for thriller and suspense. The level of anticipation is compatible with Koontz in his younger years. I recommend this to all my friends especially since the house is real...

The Martin House/Panama City Fla

The house in question is well known to me. It is owned by the paper mill located just across the road from it and is used for functions such as meetings and perhaps a party every now and again, held by the corporation. The reason there is little history of the"horrors" that took place there, is simply because there IS NO history of horrors which took place there. The reason no one talks about these "horrors" or "ghosts", is because THERE AREN'T ANY. It is simply a house. A big, very old house. Nothing more. . . nothing less. The only hauntings of that place, are merely that which people choose to create within their own minds. Fiction, not fact. Not based in reality. Sorry to say this, but there is no "hauntings" at the Martin House.

The Martin House

Are you qualified to make such claims? Were you there, when she wrote this book, witnessing that she never interviewed one single person and told their stories? Have you ever investigated The Martin House, or any other "haunted" site, for that matter? I find your post to be a bit pompous, if not arrogant.

The Martin House

I found him or her to be a bit arrogant as well. He definitely would have a lot to say about Sandy Creek.

The Martin House.

Have you ever been there late at night alone for any time at all???? Well i have about 30 years ago with a few others and guess what the place is haunted! By who I do not know but it is ghost's.So your statement isn't Squat!

The Martin House

I have lived in the area and am fairly familiar with the house myself, I have also ways been told of at least one murder on the property. Yes it is used for private functions for the paper-mill. I know the author of the book personally and is a very talented writer, the best that I can recall she never said if the book was completely fiction or non fiction so there is no need for your over criticism of the "horrors or ghosts", something happened on that property many years ago and unless you are in your late 70s early 80's you would not have been personally around to know for a fact what has happened on that property. Mythbuster, due to your name i am lead to believe that you do not believe in the paranormal, but to each their own. you may want ot check out the following website:http://hauntedpanamacity.com

Response

what are you afraid of? you couldn't even use your own name. I am pretty sure I am already aware of who you are and don't want me to succeed. Jealousy? well I hate to tell you you are outnumbered on who believes the house is possessed. Sorry but there are too many similarities on the interviews I have done. I too have been there. It doesn't seem scary... The entities choose who they make contact with. Obviously you wouldn't be very interesting to them. I will pray they do make you a believer.

Question

Submitted by on

I am interested in learning more about the house's history and I've done quite a bit of research over the internet, but I can find absolutely no evidence that there was ever a murder there. Lots of people say that one of the Martins killed his whole family there, but I find it a little difficult to believe since no one ever supplies any concrete proof of the original murder, right down to the year this happened or what the first name of the Martin man was. Where did you get your information?

Answer

There was an internet website that stated a man confessed to killing "A person" in the house. When the house was remodeled a piece of wood was removed from the upstairs window seal and it was written on the back of the wood. I tried many, many times to bookmark the site and when I went back the page was not found and it could not be displayed. This was sent to me by someone in Tennessee. I am not the only one who has had pages mysteriously disappear. I have never said the story in my book was a nonfiction read but I used every interview in the book. What I found while investigating is that every story was similar with what they saw or encountered. Like I have said before My late mother was the first to tell me of something she saw in the house and I believe her. She told me approximately 3 years ago and I am now 41 so it wasn't like she was just telling me a ghost story. I don't expect everyone to be a believer and that is ok. I accept adversity and it is a right for everyone to have their opinions. I have only used what I have been told and experienced in the book. I wish I could be allowed access to the house but the mill won't let me in nor rent it. I can't give you the proof you need to believe it. It is something you have to experience for yourself. I hope this helps to let you understand why I wrote my book. I promised my mom I would do it and I didn't lie to her. She has made me the trustworthy and strongwilled person I am today. Thank you for your inquiry and If I find the rock solid proof you are requesting I will post it here. Thanks again. Trina M. Ward
