Ghosts of Black Mountain Farm

Ghosts of Black Mountain Farm

They came to America when the nation was young. Hard working farmers, they headed west, paused their wagons on this spot, and knew it to be the very place they had dreamed of. 

A sod hut was their first home, and that first spring, they turned the soil, planted, tilled, harvested their crops, and tended their chickens and lambs. A sturdy cabin soon replaced that sod hut, as the family grew. Here they lived, here they worked and began to prosper. Years passed. They celebrated each birth, sent sons to defend their new homeland, mourned each passing, and interred their dead in the grove behind the cabin.

Following The War Between The States, the family decided to build a grand Victorian mansion upon the site of that original sod hut. They named it "Black Mountain Farm," in memory of the distant land from which their forefathers had arrived nearly a century ago.

As generations died, they took their places in the family graveyard: the old, and sometimes, sadly, the young.

They thought it would last forever, their paradise on the prairie, but another war came, then the dust bowl years, then another war. And another. A generation's youth, ambitions tempered by the hardships of farming, tempted by the allure of college campus or big city, departed, never to return.

Finally, there came a time when none remained to fill the vacant rooms, to cherish Black Mountain Farm, and it was abandoned to the mercies of prairie winters, vandals, and decay.

Now, as dusk descends and a chill wind hisses softly through the withered prairie grass, only the ghosts of Black Mountain Farm stand watch, drifting soundlessly along moldering hallways, through the overgrown graveyard, peering from the gathering shadows.

But what of that light in the attic window?
