[align=center] The Parish was built a long time ago. So long ago, we don't rightly remember when it was. It was here when we got here, long ago abandoned. It was Spanish built, we reckon, all the buildings there and the lighthouse at the Frenchtown Head. From the looks of if, whoever was here first left in a hurry.
People came to Frenchtown because there's gold up in the hills. It's a gold town, and most of the men round here are gold men. The rush began a year ago. This used to be just a little stop over, a place for the three or four settlers to meet. But someone cried gold back in '48, and the whole East flooded over into the hills here. Now, we got a mayor, a proper church, town square is even paved.Yessir, people come here for the gold. It's the Parish that makes them leave.
By all account, t'ain't a proper place. Ghost towns are always a might spooky, but something's just wrong about the Parish. Something that no one can quite place...Home || Plot || Canons || Application || Advertisements [/align]
