Sentinel tar (Mud rbrkk 2 Monday, January 27, 1973 I Ax Sunny Skies Bring Healthy Crowds Sunny skies, mild temperatures brought out sun worshipers and tourists Sunday. There were 3,000 sunbathers and swimmers at Cocoa Beach with 5,500 on South Brevard Beaches, 2,000 at Cape Canaveral, and 2,500 at the Jetty Park at Port Canaveral. The Jetty Park Campground was filled to its weekend capacity of 100 campsites. Although Sea World, Circus World, Marco Polo Park and Florida welcome station officials could not be reached for comment, "Attendance was up by 44 per cent compared to the same date last year," noted a Cypress Gardens spokesman, "and was up 50 per cent over a three-year daily attendance record." "THE MAJORITY of our guests were from out-of-state, with Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio the most frequently represented," he added. A Walt Disney World spokesman said attendance was "normal" for this time of year as fair, sunny skies prevailed around Orlando, bringing a 77-degree high and .16 precipitation.

That's how Blanche Smurthwaite, a 28-year-old mother of two, views life in her modern, three-bedroom home in rural Kissimmee these days. Just a year and a half ago, the blonde housewife, confined to a wheelchair by a childhood injury, husband; Robert, an electrician, and daughters Robin, 5, and Kimberly, 6, were convinced they lived in a haunted house.

Apparitions appeared in the night. Pictures swung on the walls. "Cold spots" floated throughout the house. And exorcisms failed. But all are gone now that religion has entered her life, Mrs.

Smurthwaite says. "After the story of our problems appeared in the Sentinel Star in 1973, I was deluged with letters," she recalls. "One of them was from a woman who had been helped with a similar problem by the Assembly of God Church that's where I turned for help." A series of prayer meetings with church officials and members, she says, revealed "the spirits were inside me, not the house." For a year, the terrifying events which sent them running from their home in the night have not reoccurred. Life has returned to normal and Blanche Smurthwaite isn't afraid of her house.
