Ghost of Captain William Smith
by Raechel Rickard

I was around for our five years old when my mother and father took me to vist this really old church. My mom and dad went inside and let me wander off since I couldn't get out of the church gate. My mom says that she and dad went looking for me and found me over by the old tombs in the graveyard talking familiarily to thin air. I told her when she asked me who I was talking to that his name was Captain William Smith. She took me inside the church because she got scared -- and his name was up on the wall. He had once owned the church, but had died around 150 years ago. I thought it was kind of cool and my mom says he is not the only ghost I have met.
