I agree with Laurie about Powell perceiving a presence, but as to dealing with a concussion, I once had a severe one while skatboarding as a child, and while I was almost 2 miles away from my grandmother's, my very first memory was knocking at her front door..which I would never have done. Somehow, in my stupor, all by myself, I made it back to where I knew I would be welcome.

Are there any renovation, or later photos of the interior of the boarding house about?

I would love to see them. Does anyone know who first occupied the boarding house, after the trial?
