Warning very sad story!

This story is a common one told around where i live. i know not if it is true, because my grandfather told me he was told the same story by his friends and them by their fathers and friends and foes. Chances are very good that it was made up in the imagination of a young girl looking for love. A way for her to express what type of love she sought. we don't know.

THE STORY

in 1817 a prosperous farmer moved his very breathtaking daughter to a large house on the rocky coasts of Maine. He had nothing to do with her but needed her away from the farm because of all his hired hands doddering around and flirting with her. At this time she was around seventeen and engaged to a young Englishman learning the ways of a profession in law. A quick description might show you what a prize she was for any mans heart. Her long brown hair glistened red in the right light and her deep mahogany eyes were like melted chocolate. her skin was powdery white with a bit of pink in her cheeks and her lips as red as the wildest rose. her legs were long and calf-like and so this young man, only of the age of twenty-two or so, had himself quite a young woman.

One night he had to leave to go back to London for his father was quite sick and had promised him the estate when he passed. Despite her plees for him to stay with her that night and to find another ship in the morning, him being from a good Christian family, refused her pleas.

On the night of their wedding did he return. As she stood on the cliffs of her new home, hell flaring in her eyes, she wished him dead. For he would have been better off dead than coming home on their wedding day. A month later than he was supposed to return. She watched as his ship pulled awfully close to the jagged rocks and suddenly wished she hadn't thought him better off dead. But it was too late. One her Birthday. The same day as was to be their wedding. The same day he died...

ONE YEAR LATER

As she walked along the rocky edge of the land she now owned, for the boarding house mother had long since been gone, she whimpered silently. Dressed in her long beautiful wedding gown, she aimlessly strolled along the cliffs, as if looking for the young man. her only true love. Many men wished to court her after he died but she refused to see anyone. Still moping along she saw him. Standing on the rocks below was her love, greeting her with open arms! Not thinking she jumped from where she stood.

It took two weeks for them to find her. Even then almost all had been eaten by crabs and such. a proper burial could not be in order for she had no more family and there was nothing left of her. So on her papers the changed her religion to atheism and cremated her, spreading her ashes out to sea.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

To this day people walking along the edge of cliffs in Maine can hear her sing out to her lost lover. never found.
