Chapter 4

Katie couldn’t remember ever having a morning this busy.

It wasn’t quite nine o’clock yet and already the guests for two of the rooms had checked in. Both of them had their “equipment” out and ready. Cameras, long microphones wrapped in foam, protective clamshell cases for thermal imagers and other tricks of the ghost hunting trade. Katie smiled and nodded as they explained their techniques and made promises that nothing they would do was going to interrupt the Inn or her.

The man who checked in second, one Victor Akers, asked her where the best place to see a ghost would be. Katie answer was the movies, and he laughed. “Good one,” he said, taking pictures of everything around him and checking the digital display each time.

Katie winced with each photo he took, but each time the screen showed nothing at all. She didn’t know what she was worried about. If regular cameras could capture ghosts, wouldn’t there be photos of ghosts everywhere?

Victor smiled at her and winked as if he’d heard her thoughts. Katie smiled back. As long as people were willing to pay her money to stay at the Inn, they could take as many photos as they wanted to.

Everything was set and ready. The plumbing worked, the menu was set, and each room had a little paper welcome bag in it with wrapped chocolates and bottles of water and some coupons for the local shops. That last part had been a little suggestion of Riley’s, to bolster cooperation between them and the rest of the town. It was the diner and a few of the antique places, mostly, but there was a ten dollar off coupon for a car wash at the gas station down the road, too.

Such a smart man she’d managed to fall in love with.

She was humming to herself when the front door opened again and a man came in carrying a backpack over one shoulder and a suitcase in his hand. Katie was expecting more hard plastic suitcases of camera equipment, but this guy had just his luggage. He smiled brightly at her as he came up to the registration desk.

“Hi. I’m Jason Maldeeves. I have a reservation.”

Katie smiled back at him--her face was starting to hurt from smiling so much--and brought up his reservation screen. “I’ve got your information right here, Mister Maldeeves. We’re glad to have you staying with us.”

“Likewise,” he said gleefully. “But, call me Jason. Mister Maldeeves was my father.”

Katie couldn’t even work up a polite laugh for that one. If there was one joke in the world that she’d like to kill with fire, it was that one.

“Just give me a moment,” she told him. “I’ve got your payment information already so this shouldn’t take long.”

“No problem. I’m just really excited to stay here. I’ve been searching for ghosts for years, staying in all the haunted Inns all over New England. The history of this one is so much deeper than anywhere else I’ve been. The murders, the rumors of witches in the town’s history, I mean wow.
