"Old Families"

Can someone refresh my memory of who the "Old Families" are, and why they would come down on Hope?

The "Old Families" have known about the ghosts since forever. Smithback came from such a family. They've been indoctrinated to accept certain beliefs about ghosts and their relationship with the living.

I'm guessing that they treat the rare people like Hope (who can see ghosts without any family history of the ability) like "Johnnie-Come-Latelies." Also, she doesn't toe the party line and I suspect they find her attitudes and questions seriously annoying. It's also possible that her potential unnerves them. Remember, Henry (Kissinger, I assume) said that Ben Franklin made "Kings" and would never consort with a "nobody."

Mike is from an Old Family but he sort of divorced them, as far as the ghost thing is concerned. At least, that's how I interpreted his comments.

Hello Tru and welcome to the forums.

Pretty quiet around these parts but "not dead yet".

Henry was not Kissinger. Just a mid level nobody. Otter explained it a while ago.
