It’s been awhile since I did a Fright Bite feature, which simply means that I don’t have a ton of information on a topic…but I wanted to share it for posterity anyway! The term ‘fright bite’ also seems to fit rather well with today’s story for another reason.
Okay, so hearing a growl on an investigation is pretty common. Whether it’s a disembodied sound, or a sound captured solely on our digital recorders, a growling noise is something that many of us have dealt with. But what could be the cause of such a scary sound?
Ruling out growling bellies from team members (another common occurrence on paranormal investigations!), and ruling out living, breathing animals that may be on site, we ask ourselves, “why would a ghost growl at me?”
Many tend to associate a growling noise with something negative, because honestly, a growl is not a welcoming, happy greeting. It’s primal, a warning of impending danger, an angry sound of displeasure, that some will interpret as even being ‘demonic.’ It’s definitely a noise we tend to pick up more often in places where suffering was widespread, especially prisons mental institutions. Those in an altered mental state, whether in life or continuing into death, might not be able to communicate any other way. And…that kind of seems like it might explain the growler of Fairfield County Infirmary. Further, there is actual historical documentation of a rather growly patient!
According to Infirmary Records compiled and published by the Fairfield Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society, there was a man named C.H. Jenery who was admitted to the infirmary under the care of Dr. J.M. Broyles. Dr. Broyes kept a journal of patient notes between 1855 and 1886. These notes are actually very sparse, but there is an interesting entry for Mr. Jenery.
It seems that Mr. Jenery was often referred to as “Mr. Nucence” (I’m guessing Nuisance?) “because he always growls on the account of not getting 5 lbs of beef at one meal, and says he cannot live unless he gets the above amount stated.” The notes go on to further state that “we could not allow the amount, then he was discharged” on August 27, 1886.
It’s not noted whether or not Mr. Jenery was just a hungry, hungry boy or if he had some legitimate reason for wanting so much meat in one sitting. Did he think he was a werewolf? Did he suffer from low iron or Prader-Willi Syndrome? Maybe he was just really dedicated to a keto lifestyle. Whatever the case, if you find yourself investigating the Fairfield County Infirmary and hear a menacing growl, don’t panic. Just tell Mr. Jenery that you hear him and understand him…and will try to bring him a burger next time.
