He becomes embroiled in an adventure to try and help a ghost retrieve a much-needed item from the past. In his quest to help the ghost he discovers the town’s spirited history and develops unusual friendships with an old man in the present and a young boy in the past.
The Witch’s Foundling by Alison Williams
While hedge-witch Mama Grace tends to the needs of the poorer denizens of Bellamdale, respect for her power does not extend to her foster daughter, Sally Founder. Trying to save a cat from local bullies, Sally finds herself in dire straits, until rescued by the Nephilim Samdriel. In exchange, the young girl becomes the host for his disembodied spirit.
Their merging grants Sally some of Samdriel’s power, as long as their relationship remains secret—even as other spirits grow restless and call for blood. When evil omens spur new violence, Sally is granted sanctuary by Lady Bellingham of Briarstone Manor with promises of protection and an education. Yet, the young girl’s new home holds secrets of its own, and pretty gowns and fancy balls cannot keep the growing darkness at bay. Sally unwittingly becomes part of a broader game that has been played for untold centuries. Could even Samdriel’s power be enough to save the witch’s foundling and those she loves as an ancient evil comes searching for a prize that threatens the world?
Ghosts of My Ancestors by William R. Burnet
Looking back through the window of our tour bus at the moor, where thousands had fought a better equipped military, left me with a very eerie feeling. This battle had killed over 2000 Jacobites that day with another 500 or more killed in pursuit. Later I found out that 700 of those taken prisoner had been executed or died in prisons, with almost another 800 more loaded onto prison ships and transported to the colonies. These actions must have been a major horror and terror these brave Scottish Jacobites felt that day as they lay wounded and dying, to the fading sounds of the bagpipes, while gasping their last breaths.
Broken Down Ghost Town by Eve Tara
Was she haunting this place, or did it haunt her?
Lynn Eden needed a break from the world. After a breakup with her girlfriend and constant building stress at her job, she packed a bag and took a road trip to the coast until her car broke down in her old hometown.
As she tries to manage for the next few days, her past comes back to haunt her. A voice out of nowhere, a shadow, a memory flashes before her. But the longer she stays, the more she knows she has to fight it head-on or become consumed.
Pulled farther into places she used to know, Lynn tries to untangle the threads she left behind that want to tie her down to a past she’s tried to forget.
