     A visit to the ghost Inn
It was a little sunny..The weather man did say, it will change.In the distance , it was cloudy. .I was rather apprehensive about the trip. But I knew once there, I would be fine.

The island was filled this time of year with haunted ghosts from the lovers long ago .They say you can see the lovers dance at the stroke of midnight .My friend Sal was waiting , I still had to pack
.He came in running.
He said" there are footprints by the ocean, but no people."

Had they already left ? He looked worried.

The last excursion to the ship, was getting ready to leave soon. I wanted to be where Sal was, so we could get some live shots.He was my journalist and editor.and I had deadline for my book , The Black Rose
A fresh start.

I know I would find the my way .It would open my creativity.

After all since Marks death , I haven't written much.I really missed him.

.My friends talked me in to this trip.

Everyone , has encouraged me to come to the island. I was intrigued but some part of me wondered why ?

I was almost finished. I had two more shirts to roll. I could hear the whispers off the shore .My window was ajar. I could feel the ocean breeze.

The front of the cottage , was so pretty.The whole rows filled with red roses. I caught myself thinking and reminiscing about Mark.

After all one year to the day he passed.He wasn't even sick wow just to much .
I was about to open the door when Sal , came running in again .Here let me help you I am all about helping .

As I walked to the boat .It became clear I was going .The boat was old, mystical ship and they made into a bed breakfast .I was sitting by the railing .
I often thought now I ned to go back in time , to search for Roan.It was time.

Sal already got us seats .I was excited now to go on the voyage .
We probably were sitting a few minutes . I had a visitor, I could feel someone behind me, I twisted around , I didn't see anyone.

The tingling started when Mark died.
They say you can feel them, as they go .
I started to breathe in and out .It calmed me .
I sat back the music started ,a guitar trio was playing nice jazzy music
I looked in my pocket to make sure I brought my sunglasses.

I had .I was relived he has already started taking pictures .
The boat stopped.We ere ready to embark off .It was long walk to the bed breakfast , but castle all redone .I could wait .

I picked up my suitcase and Sal handled me my suitcase and his .I almost drop them
.A nice looking handsome gentlemen asked if he could help. Before I could say no , he was helping me and smiling
.I was not looking for romance but he wasn't bad on the eyes .Eye candy, I smiled like flirting .yes I flirted! .

I wondered why he was there?but he stopped and introduced himself, By the way I am Jon. I am the chef! I was impressed.

I just smiled again , Sal looked at me winking .I know his mind was saying more stories more money .

I walked ahead and the rooms were luckily on the first floor .I wanted to unpack and cheek the daily restaurant , chef .I wanted to also check sauna rooms.

I was amazed to see the agenda it was full of day and night trips on the sea, and the grounds
I got checked in and was ready to explore.

My night of wonder we had the first night free.
I started down the garden path to find Sal.He wasn't in his room they said he hasn't checked in yet .He is however all about work.

I decided to try to find the beach route and see where the food was. I started down the path , I ran into Jon.Wow we have to quit meeting like this , I laughed.He smiled. I asked him by the way where is the menu?
Would you like night tour?or do you trust me?

I was not trusting , but with whole place filled with people , I would be safe .
The side of the building was filled with all types of keys , he said legend has it when a lover would come , they put there keys in the building.Its magical mystical place would dip them in concrete like magic.

Then the ones who chose to stay there life long ago. They would brig there ladies , and dress for the ball and dance .The keys would be there past to the future .
So many legends on this magical island.
Travel to the smallest on by the center .Only of course in daylight .It is said to be run by vampires .
I was amazed he knew so much .I was so comfortable .I was getting worried about Sal.
I didn't take him on the offer of the vampire just quick tour. I would get back early to check on
As we walked by room I could see many were leaving .They even asked about the menu tonight.
Shrimp and lobster sounded great , but first to check on Sal. I guess as I walked up , knocked on his door. He yelled , hold on .

I said OK.He shortly opened the door. He said wait till I tell you about the legends .I smiled.
