Think I've posted about this previously, but before that corner of Smithville and Dorothy was developed, there was a large, imposing looking empty house at that location. As a five year old, I though the place very spooky and sinister looking.
In the 1961 time frame, my brother and some of his friends decided to check out this local "haunted" house one night. No ghosts inside, but they did find some boxes and trunks in one of the rooms, may have been the attic. In addition to old clothing (costumes?), they found hundreds of handbills advertising vaudeville and burlesque shows across the midwest. My brother kept a few of those, but who knows whatever happened to them.
We moved out of Kettering in early 62, not sure how much longer that creepy old house remained.
