The Halo Legacy Series
by Genie Gabriel
As we approach Halloween, I thought it appropriate to introduce the ghost of Miss Stella, who is a secondary character appearing in the Halo Legacy Series. Here is her story:
***
The house had been
built by the town’s founder for his adored wife, Constellation. Miss Stella
shared her father’s passion for astronomy, but gave up her studies to come west
with her husband to seek his fortune in the gold mines of Oregon’s Wallowa Mountains.
The young husband
indeed found his fortune, as the story went, and invested a good share of it in
an ornate house for his wife, which included four turrets at each point of the
compass from which she could engage in her passion of watching the stars.
One day the young
husband kissed his wife good-bye, set out on a business trip, and never
returned. Heartbroken, it was said the young woman sat in the turret
overlooking the road into town and waited for her husband to return. Even after
death, her ghost still watched each arrival into town, hoping for her husband
to return.
