The story she tells Claire about the Beardsley’s first 3 wives being buried in the woods, but his 4th wife Mary Ann being buried under the Rowan Tree…and that wife‘s “ghost“ coming to her under a full moon and talking to her and helping her escape Beardsley’s beatings….Pretty Creepy!!!Mitzi H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16746339245819447740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-27952607465689431812008-10-30T18:56:00.000-04:002008-10-30T18:56:00.000-04:00One scene that gives me chills every time I read i...One scene that gives me chills every time I read it is in Drums of Autumn. Claire and Jamie are spending the night on what will become Fraser's Ridge. Claire feels something brush her shoulder and thinks it was Jamie...but he's on the other side of the fire!<BR/>"Jamie? Jamie, is there someone behind me?" Or words to that effect. ::Shiver:: Good thing she ducked!Kemarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983070157497433649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-55617149196291451522008-10-30T13:49:00.000-04:002008-10-30T13:49:00.000-04:00Diane:Oh, definitely!

That story is not one I'd want to read (or be listening to) on Halloween. <g><BR/><BR/>And if someone can come up with a LOGICAL, RATIONAL, NON-SUPERNATURAL explanation for how Claire's shoes ended up on the doorstep of the cabin in DRUMS, I would be amazed. <g> I'm not a very superstitious person myself, but that whole episode almost makes *me* believe in ghosts.<BR/><BR/>KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-18917050705004274432008-10-30T11:49:00.000-04:002008-10-30T11:49:00.000-04:00Karen,What a great topic! I have another one that ...Karen,<BR/><BR/>What a great topic! <BR/><BR/>I have another one that always chills me: The story of Gavin Hayes and the tannasg he met. Ian and Claire lean over their cups of ale as Jamie, with Duncan to help, tells the story of "a time in the late, cold autumn in the highlands, just as the season turns, and the feel of the air tells ye the ground will be shivered wi' frost come dawn." (DOA - Chapter 1) <BR/><BR/>I shudder like Jaime does at the telling of that tale! <BR/><BR/>The following scene in Chapter 2, "In Which We Meet a Ghost" continues with the creep factor, up until Bonnet's pale figure emerges from the wagon bed! Yikes!<BR/><BR/>DianeDiane M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05235754355858953561noreply@blogger.com
