O'Bannon Castle

When a story comes to mind it often takes a life of its own and becomes something greater than the author envisioned. This story has grown out of other stories I have heard or read that always put me in mind of the O'Bannon Castle back in the old days of Ireland. I am sure no one knows all the history associated with that monument to time and this story just might be part of it.In your own life you have heard stories told by family members that were unverifiable and possibly without truth, but maybe there was a possible hint of truth hidden somewhere between the lines that made you wonder. The 'What If' factor has always intrigued me, because what if I hadn't said this or done that, where would I be today? I am sure if you haven't had that thought run through your mind before, you will someday.What if this story really did happen just as it is written? Even the main character has doubts after all is said and done: if he can't prove his story, who can say what actually happened? The main character is Robert Copeland, a young man from the States who takes a train heading north in England. During the train ride, he meets a young lady who will not only become his friend, but help him in solving a half-century-old mystery. But strange things happen during their train ride that puts the story into a different perspective than anyone could have imagined up to that point. The young lady gets off the train and meets him again on anther train. She looks the same, but he can't shake the feeling that she isn't quite the same girl. This story involves a lot of friendly ghosts who have not always lived a friendly life, either after becoming a ghost or before. The main character has to sort through a lot of different people and by good fortune and wise choices eventually produces a conclusion that is satisfactory to all: the ghosts, his friends, the young lady that he met on the train and also the church that is involved in the conclusion.
