Back in the early 1800's , Jon had grown up with his family working the land for the english nobles. One day Jon was bringing back some game for the local wealthy family, and he knew he had some wood working to repair while there. It started out just another day for him. While he was in the noble's house he seen a wealthy a man from over seas doing some selling of cloth. The men making the deals for the crown didn't interest him at all. It was the young lady that was with the man who was making the deal. The lady and him would look at each other and smile then when the other looked over they would look away. He overheard the family that was selling the cloth would be there for a few more days. This gave Jon some time to think.
Jon was playing with the idea of offering to sell his services to the family for a set time if they would take him. The next morning he told his dad that is what he wanted to do. He knew they where free peoples but the nobles owned them still. Jon asked to speak to the noble and offered to be a engendered servant for a fixed amount of time to work off his dept to going to where every they where from. The lord ended up offering 5 slaves and the boy who was a skilled hunter and good at woodworking and a long but shallow freshly built/captured french ship for 5 years of free cloth other then shipping cost for the crown. When Jon heard for his 18th birthday he would be sent to America as a down payment for the cloth. Jon had never left the county let alone England. He knew she should of been mad being bartered away like some cattle but he was happy. Jon boarded ship and soon found him self sailing to the new lands. While on the ship he got to work with the carpenter to learn more about wood working then what he knew. When getting to the new land in his free time he would learn the animals and start hunting for the family. All this time he he would be sneaking glances to the daughter. Now he was working for them he could steal a second or two of her time. They got to know each other. Over the next 5 years Jon had found he had fallen in love with her. He knew when his time was up working for the family he would be put out on the streets with not much more then the clothing on his back and in a bag. Jon asked to have the family buy some wood for him, and he would sign up for some more years. The father of the family that ran the cloth company was glad to hear that and quickly drew up the contract before Jon could rethink what he had asked for. Jon had got to pick out the wood and started to make a boat. Jon knew 7 years of service was going to get him something he could call his own and make a living with. Be it hunting and fishing or trapping. This boat would be his. It was also his only chance at securing the lady of the house who he so loved and she was secretly in love with him too.
Now when the war of 1812 broke out. The family's house and warehouses got burned by the red coats. He got to the house and looked to see who was all outside in the crowd watching the house burn. It was then the face he so wanted to see wasn't out side. He asked one of the servants and they said she was inside. Jon watched in horror as he seen the flames starting to fully engulf the house. Before Jon knew it, He was running head long into the flames, and up the stairs. Love was driving him crazy and pushing him to risk it all for her. Jon did managed to get to the lady of the house and his heart. He was getting to be mid aged about 25. Old for the time but he was fit and strong. He threw his love over his shoulder and raced down the stairs. Trying to use his body as a shield. He got out side, and passed out on the grass from the pain of being burnt. Before passing out he heard she was alive and they where going to rush her to the doctor in town. They used one of the small sailing skiffs to get off the island the main house was on and over to the main land. They got Jon to the dock and he died. He was confused. He was standing on the dock looking and watching the folks drag his body to a row boat. Before loading him they found he had died and promptly dumped his body into the bay. Jon couldn't understand how he could be in the water, but yet standing there. Soon after that night. The family moved away from the island. Now Jon was stuck on the island never to know the fate of his love.
Years came and gone, Some times folks would come to look at the land. Jon's ghost was known to walk the mainland and the island haunting the property so no one would want to buy it. He had found he could move thing and turned mean over the years. Time marched on but he stayed protecting the land till his heart was free.
Jon was angered when work crews came to the land and started to build on the island. They started right where the main house was. Jon scared a few crews off but a few days later a new set would be there to work for a few weeks. As the house taken shape. He could see it looked like the old house. This really made him mad at first. It looked like his time but the lady was never there. As the house started nearing the finishing touches Jon let the crews work in peace unless the did a bad job in there task. He would then throw wood planks or what ever was around at the shabby work. He taken grate joy in chasing them off and the end of every shift.
Today was the last day to work, then they would hand the house over to the family. Jon could only wonder who would be dumb enough to move into a house on haunted land. Jon was saving his energy today for the big welcome to the new house owner.
