THE HOUSE THAT WOULDN’T LET GO: A Haunted South Jersey Childhood and the Land That Remembered

Some houses are lived in. Some houses are endured. And some never let you go. In The House That Wouldn’t Let Go , Gina McBroom recounts a childhood shaped by a home that seemed to breathe, remember, and watch. Set in South Jersey, this haunting memoir blends personal history, family dynamics, and unexplained phenomena into a deeply human story about growing up in a place where fear, memory, and land itself intertwined. From unexplained sounds and shifting spaces to recurring dreams that followed her long after leaving, McBroom explores what it means to carry a house with you — not just in memory, but in body and spirit. As generations pass, questions linger: Was it the house, the land beneath it, or the unspoken trauma rooted in both? This is not a ghost story written for shock value. It is a reflective, grounded account of lived experience — one that will resonate with readers who have questioned their own past, sensed something they couldn’t explain, or felt tethered to a place long after walking away. Written with honesty, restraint, and emotional clarity, The House That Wouldn’t Let Go invites readers to consider how environments shape us, how memory imprints itself, and why some stories insist on being told.
