In 1887, a letter from Northampton, Massachusetts reveals a chilling account of bizarre reflections seen in windows crafted by Cornelius Whitfield, the last glass cutter of pre-1860 panes. His clients, troubled by what they perceived in their glass after dark, each penned desperate letters requesting the removal of their original window panes—sealed and buried to ward off the unsettling visions. Whitfield's unique glass-making techniques, drawing from generations of craftsmanship in England, resulted in windows that were more than mere glass. Customers reported sightings of figures in their reflections, cities that vanished, and echoes of lives once lived in spaces now occupied by their homes.
