The Situation in Evergreen

Liam stood watching the street through the upstairs front window. The people coming and going, even in the chilly weather, astounded him. Their methods of transportation too made him marvel. The spirit hunters just stopped outside of the inn with all their things and jovial chaos happened for most of the time. It wasn’t until one of Shorty McGee’s descendants stormed up to the man named Eric and demanded he take back the ghost of Shorty. Shorty was a man that worked a claim close to Liam’s, but he’d never made a successful go of panning for gold. Liam always put it down to Shorty’s perchance of having a tipple every time he breathed. He’d died drunk one night because he was too plastered to use the sense God gave him. He was a rough, brash, and unhappy man. If he was like that in death, then Liam could sympathize with the descendant.  “

The Cabinet Continued

             Hailey waited impatiently for the ghost hunting team to return. They weren’t late, but the last two days were horrible. The activity was getting worse, and it forced them to remove much of the delicate parts and dolls from the attic just to ensure their safety. Eddie was pushed down the stairs, but thankfully could catch himself before he’d been seriously hurt. Hailey was certain there was something within that cabinet that was responsible for this activity. She didn’t know what, since magic and all that wasn’t her thing. Dealing with naughty spirits with her dolls was one thing. But this, this was something far darker and she couldn’t understand why it was left in this house. That cabinet dated back to when the house was a private home. For the life of her, she didn’t know what or why this appeared within this home. For that matter, she didn’t know when, either. Why wa

Bookstore Witch

             Greta and Gabby made their way to Page Turner’s Bookstore just down the street from the Blue Moon Inn. Once inside the warmth of the large shop, Greta was surprised to see a bright modern shop, which included not only a metaphysical section, but my children’s section, too. With soft upbeat music playing in the background, it didn’t take long to find the shopkeeper chatting away to a rather wild looking dog by a fireplace.             “Oh hello, Gabby. Welcome to my shop.” Kelly Jones took notice of Eric and Greta. She smiled welcomingly. “How can I help everyone?” The dog at her feet only looked larger as he stood and stretched, with a deep grumbling sound coming from deep within him. “Fine Heath. Go, abandon me just when we get customers. See what I care.” Eric thought it was odd, but the d

Doll Hospital Cabinet Continued

             Eric carried the last of the equipment to the attic. He wasn’t liking any of this. Eric’s fear of this unknown made him feel like Greta was focusing too much on a dangerous situation. He’d heard too much and tinkered with too many pieces of equipment not to know the messages they received were real. Real and too frequent for any haunting. This was too much. He didn’t want to cut and run, per se. No, he just wanted to take a step back and learn more about what they were getting involved in. Eric didn’t want to see Greta harmed in any way. He didn’t want to see any of them harmed.             They’d at least listened to him about bringing in a medium of some sort to help out with this. Now they’d found a key that should unlock the cabinet. There must be something awful in there since not only did th

Spirits, Spirits Everywhere

             Liam walked the streets of Evergreen Grove with Olivia. The evening was beautiful and surprisingly busy. People walk by them, taking little to no notice of them. However, he could see they weren’t all living. Several clearly dead people walked by them. One or two even acknowledge their presence. The bookshop was still owned by a witch, who could see the dead and communicate with them. Her cat was interesting. Liam could see that it wasn’t a normal animal. It’s spirit was far too complex for a common animal. Then there was the wolf, or man. It was a creature with two forms. But it was cursed. But there in the bookshop now sat several ancestors of the witch, many attempting to have her banish the wolf-man creature.             They didn’t stay long enough to communicate before they were moving on. “I feel a little so

Research Never Ends

Eric found Greta scrolling through the internet looking for information. This was her job for the show. It was her duty to research these things. But he didn’t envy her, her job. Much of this wasn’t easy to find, and she’d be up late contacting people or searching the internet. Digging in old archives or libraries. “Have you found anything yet?” Eric came into the upstairs library and spoke to Greta. He’d just finished retesting the equipment that appeared to malfunction on them. Also, he had a message from Hailey for Greta. “No, but I’m sure whatever is bothering Eddie and Hailey, someone kept it in that cabinet. When they moved it, the seal broke and now it’s roaming about probably angry about being sealed up like that for this long. We don’t know if they have more to be angry about, either. Has Hailey decided if we can unlock that book, we found? I don’t want to open it if she’s not comfortable with it. But I truly believe it will tell us a lot about what

From Dating to Family in a Hot Minute

Jody put away the last of the laundry and looked around the small apartment. She couldn’t believe with everything going on that Billy insisted she move in with them. She watched Abby run past the bedroom door excitedly because her brother gave her permission to turn on cartoons for a while. This was his day off, but most of it was dealing with the horrific mess his family saddled him with. His mother would have nothing to do with the family. She’d washed her hands of it. That left Billy and Abby to pick up the mess. Between the funeral, police investigation, and the management of the estate after the fire, Jody wasn’t sure what Billy would do with it all. She didn’t feel it was right for her to speak up right now. But he was in the kitchen making dinner tonight for them. He claimed it calmed his nerves. If he hadn’t been at the Inn working when the fire happened, Jody figured they’d be suspects, because they didn’t find the cause of it during the investigation.

Future Plans

Eric entered the dining room with several books and papers. He dropped them down at the table where Greta ate and searched the internet while she could connect to it. The struggle to get onto the internet and stay connect was a nightmare. Now, with the uptick in paranormal activity, it wasn’t just spotty internet, but batteries draining at an unnaturally fast rate, and equipment powering down at random. One machine used to make spirit voices available for them to hear, appeared to become possessed by several spirits that all needed to talk at once. None were interested in taking turn or working with the others. It forced them to shut it down and keep it turned off from then on. Which was no simple task when it would switch itself back on at random or they could say it was the will of the spirits. “I just got back from the bookshop, and she let me look at her private collection of documents on the history of ‘certain’ families in the area. Sure enough, Hailey’s family was conn

An Intimate Dinner

Greta and Eric sat, eating their dinner in companionable silence. “So, what do you have in mind to do tonight?” Greta didn’t know what Eric was planning, but if the way the Inn’s restaurant was slowly clearing out and no new patrons were replacing them, she knew he had something planned. “I was thinking we could actually spend some time together without work getting between us. At every turn, it seems to be in our faces. We chase disembodied creatures, but they are acting like a barrier between us.” They were now on dessert, and she’d missed how time had gotten away from them as they’d lingered over their meal. This must have been the first time they’d not shovelled food down in a rush to return to work. Greta was enjoying it. “Did you hire the dining room for the evening?” Greta wasn’t stupid. There were only two other tables occupied beyond theirs, and this was a time when the dining room would hop with diners. “I may have. Look, if I tried to get you to

Stone’s Destruction

Kelly Jones, the owner of Page Turners, came armed with several bags. At first glance, she looked like she was coming to stay. But that wasn’t the case. They needed everything she brought with her for the ceremony. But she carefully stored all her equipment and supplies in what appeared to be custom storage containers.Gabby couldn’t do more than block windows and the section of the back garden from the guests as there wasn’t time to cancel bookings and she wouldn’t evict guests in the middle of their stay. They’d been warned of the haunted nature and odd happenings. This was just another odd happening. Or at least that’s how she instructed Jody to explain it. The guests didn’t need to know exactly what was happening in the back garden on a cold winter evening.Eric stomped his feet to get some warmth into them. This differed from being in the on the island. They couldn’t have any electric current close to this location at the time of the ritual for fear it might affect the results of
