Chapter Eighteen

I wanted to keep my job for obvious reasons, but a deeper motivation was to prove myself to others. I wasn’t some dumb nitwit. I was a librarian, for heaven’s sake, and librarians were smart cookies. I could be the hero and save the day. Never mind that I had never solved a murder before; I had good research skills.

I had to get the library back on track so I didn’t lose funding too. Even if I was cleared of the murder, I could be considered a failure before I barely even started the job.

I was surprised to see such a big turnout for tonight’s tour. Then again, it was getting close to Halloween and the groups would grow larger as that time neared. There were three women who appeared to be in their twenties and two other older couples. I gave my usual introduction and then handed out the flashlights. I already felt the charge in the air tonight. I wondered if the ghost of the man would appear again.

“Do you think we will see a ghost tonight?” one of the young women asked.

“It’s certainly possible,” I said as I looked over her shoulder for the ghostly man.

“Have you seen a ghost?” a dark-haired woman asked.

I pondered the question for a moment and then said, “More than one and on more than one occasion.”

That seemed to be the answer they were looking for, because everyone smiled. I was interested to see if anything would happen at the bookstore again tonight. It was startling to have a book fly off the shelf like that, but that was what the customers wanted. They came on the tour to get a ghostly experience and that just might be what they’d get at the bookstore.

We headed past the tavern on the usual path. When I looked in the window I spotted Tammy at the bar. She glanced up and waved. It looked as if she was having a drink without me.

I guided the group toward the first building. The evening was a little chilly, setting the perfect tone for a spooky tour. As I walked I kept looking over my shoulder to see if the ghost was lurking around. No one seemed to notice that I was a little preoccupied. Both of my jobs seemed to be suffering right now. With one ghost at the library and another following me on the tour, I just couldn’t put all the pieces together.

We reached the stone building and so far no ghost. I wanted to see him though, even if he did creep me out. We were huddled together in the small space of the entrance of the store. All eyes were on me, waiting for me to convey the spooky tale.

I recited the story from heart, but it never got old. I’d seen the faces of the people who had witnessed paranormal activity and I wanted to make sure I told their stories as accurately as possible. We walked through the second and third floors.
