    About this ebook

    This ghost was haunted by someone or something else.

    None of her doing, but prevented her from moving on. Everytime someone would try to talk to her, the castle around her started collapsing on that visitor. 

    John Earl Stark was given this assignment with the help of his spirit-guides Sal, and Jude. Unlike the others they had completed together, this one required skills they never before had to develop. A double haunting. And mortal risk.

    In this story, John, Sal, and Jude also explore an undercurrent of their deepening relationships.

    This story adds to The Ghost Hunters saga with a new part, as their cosy paranormal mysteries continue.

    Excerpt: 

    "I don't know why castles and ghosts always seem to need dark and overcast weather to be so dramatic." I said when the shimmering stopped.

    We were at the castle in one of the upper rooms. A high, vaulted roof was partially still intact overhead. There were only blank walls, and the floor had a massive hole in it, directly below the missing roof portion. Sal and Jude both had lit spectrals in their hands. Little blue-white flames that appeared just off the tip of one finger. Bright enough to show what a person needed to see, but too bright to look at directly.

    I'd read about these, but this was the first I'd seen either of them using one.

    Sal nodded, "These should help with the general gloom. Just to give you the layout."

    Jude added, "We are going to put them out and stand over to each side as lookouts. When the specter shows up the room will be bright enough. But don't wait to engage her. We think the light is what brings the interference.'

    At that, they both moved away from me, skirting the piles of rubble that appeared here and there across the floor.

    They extinguished their spectrals and we waited.

    Not long.

    A yellow-greenish light appeared and a woman walked in from beyond the wall, dressed in some white linen with some sort of gold or light tan rope that crossed her chest and circled her waist. Fetching, even in the light she gave. From her knees down, she fades to transparent, and the movement of her knees and hips, along her forward motion were the only indicators she was walking. Both hands held a single tapered candle in front of her. The greenish light came from its tip. But there wasn't a natural shadow below her, or an unnatural one. It simply went dark before and after her. The light seemed to go through her as well, like a glowing sphere of light that had nothing to do with a flame. It showed up the wall as she came through it, then faded as she walked away from it and toward me.

    I could see well enough to know that there were no rubble piles between us. I started walking immediately in her direction, with a long pasture-covering gate. "Hey there! What's your name and how can I help you?"

    The specter stopped at this, a puzzled look crossing her face. "I'm Margaret. And, sir, who are you?"

    "Call me John. Do you know what date it is?"

    Margaret's puzzlement turned into a frown. "The 4th of January."

    "Can you tell me what year it is?"

    The frown deepened. "1898, of course. Are you jesting with me? Everyone here knows…" She took one arm to include the room and an expected audience but found only the bare walls, and myself standing in front of her.

    "Margaret, this isn't some sort of jest. You've been dead for some time..."

    "Dead?!?"

      I

      WHEN I WOKE UP, THERE was someone behind me. Right behind me. The soft breathing on your back that only a sleeping woman can make.

      She was curled up like a spoon behind me. Her knees behind mine and that made her head nestle just between my shoulder-blades. I felt her breathing through my cotton t-shirt and her warmth seeping from her legs through the grey sweat pants I wore this time of year.

      The room was warm, pleasantly so. Spring had come, but still got cold enough at night to keep the windows shut. And the heavy outside door was shut as well. The cabin was so small and weather-tight that two bodies kept the room warmish. Warmer than I did on my own. And multiple comforters preserved that heat. I hadn’t changed out to lighter blankets yet. That would happen when I started keeping windows open to get the cabin cool, instead of keeping it warm.

      Her arm was across my waist, underneath my own arm. Reaching back to touch her gently, not wanting to wake her and spoil this good morning surprise, I touched her hip and found she was wearing nothing. More surprise for me.

      Too many more good surprises like that and the excitement would start affecting me in ways I wasn’t prepared for.

      Because I’d moved out to this remote site to remove distractions from my life, to study the human condition from afar. Not intimately.

      Who was this woman, how did she get here without waking me, what did she want? Those were the questions I had. For now, though, I still relished the quiet, warm, early farm morning.

      At that thought of mine, she stirred, raising her head. Good morning, sunshine.

      It was Jude. And now I made out the smell of roses from her hair.

      "And a good morning to you. Don’t
