A ghost story does wonders for the spirits…

We walk through Time without thinking of the pieces of ourselves that we leave behind, shedding skin, leaving our imprint on everything we have held, touched, sat in, argued with, loved, abused, cared for; our soul has its own legacy to which we leave echoes of our lives trapped in the moment of Time forever.
