This is spooky,I loved the feeling of the singing in the story. The ghost is amazing too! Does anyone else see the feline fire-cat he is calling out of the pumpkin?

What a great story!! Those old wharf boat houses are unlike anything else. The wooden floors with decades of spilled fish juice and boat motor gas. Rusty everything. Then they remodel them for the tourists but under those spackled walls are the archetypal residue of the old Alaskans that spent their lives loading, unloading, fixing, cleaning, stacking, welding, tieing, buffing, sanding, grinding. Yeah, those salty spirits are happy to hear a young girl sing!!

Perfect comment! Sparkles up me heart! And he description alone of the wharf boat houses sound like the perfect container for a hermit crab essay.

I did spot the ghost to the left of the fire. Or some kind of smokey aberration which appears to be talking. Very cool!

Haha! Isn't that trippy? I've seen weirdness like that before with night/fire shots. The spirits will only let themselves be captured by phones, apparently.
