On Friday, January 21, 1921 in the newspaper, "Island County Times" from Coupeville, Washington the heading read "Aged Greenbank Resident Disappears". This aged resident was my great grandfather, Francis Paterson. He disappeared the day before Christmas. According to the article there were searches and inquiries but no clues as to his whereabouts. As he was living on an island there were not many ways to leave. If he did leave, no one seen him go. Some feared that he wandered off into the darkness and perished. But after many times combing through the area, no evidence was found. Francis Paterson's disappearance is still a mystery.

There are so many things that could have happened, the possibilities are endless. Is it possible that he slipped near the shore and the body was washed away? I'm thinking that it isn't probable if he had lived there for a long time. Any reason to suspect that he chose to leave and be lost?
ReplyDeleteYou know there are portals all over the World. This is how my people came to Middle Earth. I talked to one girl who said there are portals in the UK. I know this is something that is not common to talk about among the Western society. I am Native American. The Supernatural.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny because my other grandmother used to hang out with a Frank Patterson. Her name was Elizabeth or Betty. He lived long. I think his wife's name was Mary. Two tt's. Both sets of my grandparents were all very close. They lived within 5 mins. Thank you for sharing.
P.S. I am finding a lot of similarities among stories in our family
