Santa Rosa Chapter III - Matt Costa

With the loss of her two brothers tragically during her 17th year

They moved out shortly after the second death

And it was only several times since but no one ever stayed long

It’s said that the boys still haunt the house

There have been several exorcisms to cleanse the property

But now it sits vacant and once Sharon and I broke in and held a seance

We fell asleep, she in my arms

She woke up abruptly and told me they just came to me in my dream

She cried till sunrise

I walked her back to her place, her eyes tired from crying

And she was a mess

And her burden was unfortunately too much for me to bear

I flew home the next morning and I thought about it as California lay so

distant below me

Our love had become that same distant feeling

I had eventually begun seeing someone in Southern California

Sharon and I stopped talking

She would call me every few years and tell me how she was

She had begun dating someone in Australia who she met online

They tore down the house she grew up in and built a new one

But they were still having the same hauntings

Her father had died and she wanted to meet in Pacific Grove and talk about

everything
