Traveller’s Rest by John Smith

One weekend last autumn my cousin Jack and I went on a hiking trip in the countryside. We had planned to stay at a village hotel on Saturday night and return home on Sunday. As we were walking late on Saturday afternoon, we realised we had lost our way. It was getting dark and we were very tired. Then it started to rain and we started to feel desperate. The next moment, we saw an old-fashioned stone cottage, so we decided to stop and ask directions.

A little old lady came to the door. She was wearing a long dress and smiling sweetly. When she heard that we were lost, she invited us inside. “You’re welcome to stay the night,” she said. “You can reach the village easily in the morning.” We felt grateful for her hospitality and sat down to a hot tasty meal in her cosy kitchen. After that, she showed us upstairs to two clean comfortable beds.

The next morning, the old lady was nowhere to be found. We left a thank-you note and set off towards the village. We stopped for a coffee at the village hotel. Imagine our amazement when the hotel owner told us who we had stayed with. “That’s old Mrs Heron,” he said. “She’s been dead for sixty years. She used to put up travellers overnight.” Jack and I looked at each other in horror. Did we imagine it or had we seen a ghost? I suppose we will never know.
