Who knows what. The professor only suspects that Francesca is the 'lady in white'. Now that you have given him this info about a sister.. that opens up the possibility that she may in fact be our white lady apparition not Francesca. So the plot deepens and we are .....................
I did find out that the sister's name was Natasha...... It didn't say if they were twins or when the sister was born.. That is why I suspect they were twins...……….……………….
I found a rumor that Natasha married Francesca's husband after Francesca died under mysterious circumstances. Local legend has it that Francesca killed herself by hanging herself from the stairwell. Could it be that Natasha killed her so that she could marry Carlisle?
That is very interesting Shirley. I doubt whether a female has the strength to string up another human being yet Carlisle did have.. So it was either he alone or he and Natasha were complicit in Francesca's death. Still legend is not fact. We need proof if we are to publish our findings..........
We will do that. Just as Dan spoke the now familiar moaning of the mysterious resident was heard. This time it was more a sobbing sound and louder than before. Minutes later Shirley and Dan left for Avon and its courthouse. They had a baffling mystery to solve.
Meanwhile the skies started to turn heavy and black.. Looks like a major rain storm is coming.. We must find somewhere to take shelter from the storm but the only place would be in the house.. That wouldn't be that bad except now we know it is haunted and it won't be the most pleasant place to be stranded...……………………………………………………..
I have booked us into a motel just outside of Avon. I think we have all had our fill of haunted houses and spooks for one day. There is one thing that we have all forgotten. That demonic red-eyed individual that warned us to leave the manor this morning. Is that Carlisle Marchmont................
Good move..... I was wondering about spending too much time in that haunted place, especially overnight.. Now, do you think while we are away for the storm, we should all gather, and have some sort of a meeting to consider what our next move should be concerning the house ???????...……………………………………………………...
Shirley and I found out that Francesca Marchmont died in 1867 from an apparent drowning accident at home.. not a self inflicted hanging as we had been told. A Natasha Marchmont (nee Nicholson), obviously the twin sister, died from consumption four years later. So as we suspected she was Marchmont's second wife. Marchmont lived to a ripe old age of 70 and left this earth in 1892. There are rumors that Marchmont was a tyrant and treated his first wife abominably.. ...............
Ok..... let's suppose that Marchmont became possessed by the red eyed demon. The female voice we heard calling for help might be Francesca. While we have a good night's sleep, we can ponder on this. How does all this fit? Are we on the right track?
To be honest Shirley I dont know if we are on the correct path. But it is all we have to go on at the moment. Yes I expect like me you are both exhausted as it has been a long and mentally draining day.. and that is only our first.. Good nite. I am hitting the sack.
night... While we were in the haunted house, I picked up a book that was lying partially hidden behind a bookcase. It's title is, "How to Cast Spells and Summon Demons." It's author is someone named S. Atan. While I'm resting tonight, I'll read a few chapters in it.
