Fabula Publicarum Amicarum Et Privatorum Amatorum

Erat domus suspicionis in oppido, nomine Dedham.

Suspicio annos ducentos duravit. Haec est fabula 

publicarum amicarum et privatorum amatorum.

Iason Fairbanks, vir multi mysteri, magnam villam habebat. 

Olim pulcherrimam et adolescentem Elizabetham videbat.

Modo amicos omnibus videbantur, sed arbitris remotis navem amoris

conscendunt. Vult ducere eam in matrimonium sed non placet ei. 

Una atra nocte intra arbores et in parvo agro, Iason ultionem quaerit.  

Hic amatorem fodit undecimter in pectore et ferro iugulum eius caedit 

qualis leo cervum necat. Eius corpus abscondere, suum pectus fodere, 

et suum iugulum caedere ut suspicionem evitet. 

Tamen, erant oculi in silvis, et Iason in vincula ponebatur.

Sed, amicis iuvantibus, vincula frangebat et carcerem effugiebat. 

Mox recapitur, aperte in foro suspenditur, et prope proximam victimam 

humatur. Nunc animae inter se pugnant, agitantes villam in perpetuum.

Si insolitum fragorem pedum audias aut tremulum luminum videas, 

idola sunt, furentes in propinquo.

English Translation:

There was a house of suspicion in the town named Dedham. 

The suspicion has lasted for two hundred years. 

This is the story of public friends and private lovers. 

Jason Fairbanks, a man of much intrigue, was having a large house. 

One day he was seeing the most beautiful and young Elizabeth.

They seemed only friends to everyone else, but in secret, they embarked on the ship of love. 

He wished to marry her but it was not pleasing to her. 

On one dark night amongst the trees and in a small pasture, Jason took his revenge. 

This man stabbed his lover 11 times in the chest and cut her throat with iron just as a lion kills its prey. He hid her body, stabbed his own chest, and cut his own throat in order to avoid suspicion. 

However, there were eyes in the woods, and Jason was being put into chains. 

But, with his friends helping, he was throwing off his shackles and escaping from prison.

He was soon recaptured, hung publicly in the forum, and buried near his past victim.

Now their souls fight each other, haunting the house forevermore.

If you hear a strange sound of footsteps or see a flickering of lights, it is the ghosts, raging in their closeness.
