It was a dark and stormy night

They were lovers before the war, but her family disapproved.
In a last minute whirlwind that could only happen before the lovers were to be separated by the soldier's departure they promised undying love to one another. Tears were shed. The promise wouldn't die but so much could not be said for the soldier.
The parent's relief led to the girls stoic alienation. She knew her only hope to be reunited with her lost love was through death. In the dark of night she took her own life in this house and haunts it to this day.
If you walk around the house three times at midnight, the exact time she took her life, you will be able to hear her blood curdling scream to this day.

Signal Man

I thought this story was a little confusing. The first two pages were super boring but it got better. I don't really understand. Is the guy that was waving really a ghost or not?

Wuthering Heights

Why does hindley disaprove of edgar and catherine so much? when edgar asks catherine to mary her and hindley comes home they both run away for fear of what hindley will do in his drunken rage. Why was hindley so mad at him even after catherine spent so much time at the lintons learning to become a lady? I feel that Hindley would approve of edgar more than anything.

Ghost stories

The talk today of ghost stories was interesting, and it made me wonder why there arent many ghost stories for shelby. the signalman and Wuthering heights were both similar stories because the ghost is trying to get a message across to the human. He is trying to warn both lockwood and the man that dies of something that will happen.

The Signalman

So this story was different, and kind of confusing. The ghost really creeped me out, because i don't like ghost. they are a fear of mine. the part where his hand waved was really um.. scary. i didn't like it. he had a lot of signs that lead up to his "final destination" where he could have known that his death was approaching.
