Every Halloween night, Mrs. Harrow lit a single candle in her upstairs window.
She said it was for her son — lost at sea fifty years ago.
No one dared ask more.
After she passed away, the house stood empty. But the next October 31st, just after midnight, the same faint light appeared in the window again.
The neighbors assumed it was kids sneaking in to play a prank.
So one of them, a man named Thomas, went to check.
The door was unlocked. The house cold and silent. Upstairs, the candle burned steady — though the wick was untouched, and the wax never melted.
He leaned closer, squinting — and in the window’s reflection, saw not his own face but that of a young sailor, dripping with seawater, smiling faintly.
When the police found Thomas’s car still running outside, the candle had gone out.
But the next Halloween, there were two flames burning in the window.
