“Shhhhh…(whispering) Look! Just in front of the blue door. Do you see them?!”
“Oh wow! Yeah, I see ‘em. Heard about the “Three Graces”. Wow!”
The “Three Graces”?
“Well the story is that those three little girls died in a fire in the church back in 1907. Sad story. See how they’ve bricked up the windows? Used to be stained glass. The blaze was so hot there was nothing left of them. Sad.
Quick! Get a picture with your phone. Nobody’s gonna believe this!
I never woulda’ believed it if I hadn’t see ‘em myself. But there they are!”

Me too. Have you ever seen a ghost? I have a few that I’ve caught with my camera 🙂

No…in mythology there are three graces. They each have a different name and different “gifts”. 😊

Hadn’t noticed the boarded up windows – well done in winding that into a good story.

I have captured spirit-like images on film that I didn’t see with my naked eye…so it is possible I think! 🙂

Enjoy your take from the photo. You saw more than me – the boarded windows and the little girls. I have experienced and saw ghosts when I was a child and young adult. Now I only have feelings.

Thank you. When considering the ghosts of the young I like to think of them as tragic sprites caught between worlds…their innocence intact even in death. 🙂
