The haunted village - Part 5/Details

This is the fifth and last part of the "Haunted village" series:

The village named Morna was once a lively place until the nearby factory closed and the villagers had to be relocated and build a new settlement at a lower altitude where access to the nearest town, therefore to more job places, would be easier.

Some people spread rumors about the place, that it was haunted and that people would disappear there. But after visiting the village and talking to one of the two people who spend some months of the year still living there, we learnt a lot of interesting facts.

First of all, the place had never been haunted or cursed or whatever. Secondly, there is no electricity. If you need to power anything you'd need to install solar panels or bring batteries or a power generator with you. Thirdly, no one lives there permanently, but lots of people come to their old grandparents houses during spring and summer months - which basically answered our question as to how come many of those old houses looked recently renovated with new roofs and yard fences or at least taken good care of with freshly painted garden tiles.

Our journey back in time would be incomplete without sharing a few details, small things that add personality to a place...

Like this water tap, painted by hand...

Or the shells of two unfortunate tortoises...

Now hanging empty, reminding us of how futile this material world is.

And the back of a chair with its bright color bringing some life to this grey mountain village scene.

And a forgotten, rusty bell.

All details, big or small little difference does it make as they put together an image of a magical place, out of this world, away from our time, a separate universe where life the way you've got used to it seems to stop and everything flows more slowly, more carefree, more genuine.
