Are the stories true? Some say yes, others, no, still others are not sure. You be the judge. Are the recipes great...oh yes indeed!
Excerpt
Rue, The Gray Lady
Heceta Head Light - Oregon
Heceta Head Light, believed to be one of the ten most haunted in America, sits in melancholy high on a bluff overlooking the mighty Pacific.
It is here that the abandoned grave of a baby girl lies, and it is here that "Rue," possibly the daughter of an early keeper, and known as "The Gray Lady" lives. Every keeper without exception since 1950 has reported screams in the night, objects moved or missing, closed cupboards opened, missing rat poison from the attic and tools thought lost reappearing.
In the 1970s, while cleaning the attic windows, a worker saw a reflection of a silver haired lady who seemed to float over the floor. Horribly frightened, he screamingly left the attic and refused to return to work. Only a promise to allow him to work anywhere but the attic convinced him to return.
While working outside this same man accidentally broke the attic window, and adamantly refused to go in to clear the mess. Later that night, sounds of scraping were heard, and the next morning the glass was found in a neat little pile.
Regularly seen in and around the house, this gray lady is usually seen in the attic window and the abandoned child's grave.
