That's an unbelievable story, Liberty. Beautiful and also a bit chilling lol. Did you celebrate any more birthdays in that cottage?
I had one experience of paranormal electronic interference a few years ago after a friend of my mom's had passed away. She was a holding a lamp that friend had gifted her, not even plugged into a wall, and we both watched in disbelief as the light flickered a few times in succession. I think back on that a lot.
Anyway, beautiful piece as always, Liberty! Looking forward to reading more!!
