| Rusty
is looking forward to the trip but not the company. He is stuck in
the car with mystery novel reader Katie and music lover Sheila. Katie
always has her nose in a book and Sheila has on headphones as she listens
to music. Rusty loves history and is looking forward to visiting
Barkerville. It was the site of a gold rush town in the 1870s.
To prepare for the visit, Rusty reads the history of Barkerville.
One chapter in particular catches his attention. The story of Three
Finger Evans. The legend has it that James Evans' ghost can be seen
wandering around the town as he tries to find his way back to his wife
and children. An interesting tale to be sure but it is just a ghost
story. Or is it? Who is that man the kids see their first night
in town? It sure looks like James Evans. What is going on here? |
