That didnt explain however the strange footsteps at night and a portrait which had hung for over 100 years to fall down the stairs, not to mention Shays new invisible friend. The strange activity on the beach during the ghost tours was cause for concern, was someone reusing the old smugglers trail? This place was far from the peace and quiet she was promised.
