Michael was scared beyond belief as he made eye contact with the ghost of a union civil war solider. The ghost was looking dead at him, Everything around michael felt ice cold, as if the spirit was drawing out all the warmth in the room. Michael pressed himself up against the bed borad. Michael opened and closed his eyesover and over again hoping what he was seeing was just a dream and that he was going to wake up soon. But no matter how many times he opened and closed his eyes, the ghost was still standing there, staring and unmoving. Michael was left with no choice but to stare at the ghost.Hoping to maybe find the answer to why the ghost was there michael decided to try and ask it something. "Why...why are you here?.....What do you want?" michael asked. The ghost said nothing, all it did was turned its head and pointed toward the doorway and disappeared, leaving michael stunned and terriffied. It left michael so terriffed that he wasnt able to go back to sleep.

The next morning, michael decided to head to the library and try and find out who this solider was. As michael sat at a table flipping through old cesues a librarian apporached him. "Sir do you need any help finding anything?" she asked. "Um...yes im looking for history of my house i just bought." Michael replied. "Ok well where do you live?" she asked.

"No one knows excatly, but the story goes Jack, the son who fought in the war, was said to have fallen in love with a female slave.
