Quote:
Every year the coast guard holds an assembly about the dangers of crossing the causeway that only seems to increase its appeal.
When I get out of the car I can hear the dense pines that stand sentinel over the peninsula creaking in the salt-laced wind… and something else.
A sound like a girl crying.
I freeze and listen. It could just be the wind in the trees or the mournful sigh of the tide retreating over the rocks below the coastal path, but then, peering through the fog, I catch a glimpse of something white that looks like a girl running... I remember the ghosts who are said to haunt these woods.
