........." Hampton, New Hampshire has a friendly ghost named Val Marston.
" While out walking one day with my wife and eight year old
daughter, we encountered a ghost.We saw the figure of a little boy standing on the
grass in front of an old white house. He seemed to be brighter than his
surroundings", said John Robertson. " In fact, he glowed. My wife and daughter saw
him too, and my daughter Edith cried, Daddy Daddy, that boy, I'm afraid".
The vision was a handsome smiling boy about twelve years old, with
dark brown curl falling across his forehead. He had bare feet, coveralls, with
his hands stuffed in the pockets, a blue sailors blouse and he wore a sailors
cap. He wasn't looking at the Robinson's, but seemed to be staring into space.
" Hello sunny, do you live here?" Robinson asked, and he
immediately disappeared. My wife and daughter were baffled.
The owners of the house claimed they had also seen the little boy
often. He had even come to the back door with violets in his hands, but when
the owners wife reached for the flowers the boy and flowers disappeared.
Robinson set out researching and he found, on Feb 14, 1879 Val
Marston was born and died Oct 12, 1890. Val had apparently gotten a hold of his
fathers gun and started playing with it. The gun exploded in his hands, and
although the wound wasn't to serious, Val died of lead
poisoning."..........................
