    Constance Barker

    Constance Barker lives in the Midwest with her husband and two Akitas where she can look out from her screened porch onto a wooded area brimming with activity. Since she was a young girl she read mysteries, often given to her by her grandmother. She loved figuring out who the culprit was and sometimes she was right and other times startled at who the author picked as the assailant. Now she enjoys writing mysteries herself. When she isn't writing stories, she can be found in her favorite vacation spot, Las Vegas or shopping for bargains.

      The Mystery of the Morbid Moans - Constance Barker

      Prologue

      ––––––––

      One Christmas when I was five years old my parents were out of town, so I spent that holiday with Grams and Grandpa Winky. I was sad that I wouldn’t spend this special day with my parents, but Grams and Winky made sure to make it special for me.

      Christmas Eve we piled into Winky’s old Chevy pickup and made the rounds in town looking at the holiday lights. There were a few inches of snow on the ground, and the colored lights gleamed off the white cap’s surface. The radio was on with bulletins on Santa sightings, which made me even more excited.

      Late that evening we attended Christmas Eve services, where the baby Jesus laid in a manger on the church’s altar and the choir and congregation sang carols about his arrival into this world.

      I was half asleep when we arrived back at Grams and Winky’s house, but I wanted to make hot cocoa for Santa. Of course Grams did it for me as I sleepily trailed off to bed.

      Christmas morning when I walked out of my room, I entered what looked like a mystical realm. No lights were on, but many candles were lit, providing a magical atmosphere as I made my way to the living room. Many more presents were under the tree than the night before and Grams and Winky sat on the couch with their coffee mugs, waiting for me.

      Santa came, Winky announced with a wide grin.

      But even in my young mind I knew it was Grams and Winky who had arranged this perfect holiday for me. They knew it was difficult to be away from my parents, but they had succeeded in making it special and one that I would remember all my life.

      That evening I sat on Grandpa Winky’s lap and we gazed out the window at the falling snowflakes. It is one of my most cherished memories of him and Grams. A time when I felt safe and loved.

      But Winky was right when he told me those feelings of security fade as you grow older. His ghostly spirit warned me that adulthood robbed you of childlike amazement. I was on a mission to find that wonderment again, and along the way I hoped to find Winky’s spirit as well.

      Chapter One

      ––––––––

      We’ve got a job in Ohio, my husband Luke announced as he walked out onto our front porch where our ghost hunting team had assembled.

      My best friend and colleague Sydney and our other two team members, Gerry aka Goog and Matt sat with me. Syd and I sat on the porch swing, while Goog and Matt anchored the two rocking chairs.  Luke sat down on the edge of the porch railing.

      There’s a small town called Willett’s Pike in Ohio that’s known for its antique shops. The entire downtown area is antique shops, hometown restaurants and a few bed and breakfast inns.

      I’ve been there. Matt took a sip of his iced tea and then continued. It’s a quaint village, not far from Cincinnati. A girl I dated and I spent the night at one of the inns a few years ago. It’s also known for ghost tales. They have ghost walks in the summer and fall.

      Did you go on a ghost walk while you were there? I asked.

      Eden, this is Matt you’re talking to, Syd remarked. Why would the only person on our ghost hunting team that doesn’t believe in ghosts go on a ghost walk?

      I smiled. Because his girlfriend wanted to?

      Matt nodded. Yep, that was the only way I was going. But I have to say, they’ve got an elaborate set up.

      Goog stretched his long legs. What do you mean?

      "This place is old. It was established in the late 1700’s by the Quakers and many of the original structures still stand. The Quakers were pretty simple folk so the old buildings are very minimal looking from the outside. Just square with a few windows. But then you’ll see these large Victorian homes as well on the side streets. They’re very much adorned with wrought iron railings and spires on top of turrets on a few of the homes. It’s a stark contrast to the Quaker buildings. I’m thinking there must
