Munroe Island

Chapter 6

"The day when the Red-Eyed spirit visits Zen to hunt its prey! "

Appollo stared at the bellboy. Then suddenly he started laughing.

"Oh my god! Red-eyed spirit?! Haha. Stop pulling my leg. Like as if I would believe you."

"No sir, I'm serious. As I said before, you know nothing about this place. Its your luck that you didn't come across the spirit in the graveyard or else... "

Appollo who was nearly in tears by then stopped laughing abruptly.

"What? Spirit in the graveyard?"

"Yes sir. The spirit is believed to emerge as well as disappear on every new moon's day from the graveyard you passed by when you came here. , Though nobody who has seen it lived long to tell their tale."

Appollo was lost in thoughts.

So my eyes were not playing tricks on me yesterday, he thought to himself. But why was the spirit not able to sense my presence? If it had...

A shiver ran down his spine.

" Hey, can you tell me more about the Red-eyed spirit? If nobody has survived after seeing it then how come everyone knows about it?"

"Its widely believed by the people here sir. I've myself heard it from my parents. I don't know anything else. Good day sir."

Saying so, the bellboy left.

Appollo was about to close the door, when he came back.

"Yes?"

"I only know that the spirit haunts the island sir. Munroe Island. That's why nobody visits the island anymore. Those who have, have never returned. Their bodies where never found."
