Eighty years ago, a middle- aged sea captain purchased a large house on the boardwalk facing the ocean. According to legend, the man bought it for his younger wife. She was only eighteen at the time. A few years later, the captain made his first voyage and he never returned again. It is said that his young wife would spend countless nights on the widows walk waiting for her husband to return. One freezing morning in January, exactly two years after he had left, her body was found frozen on the widows walk. To this day, she can be seen standing on the widows walk still waiting for her beloved husband to return home.
This is so heartbreaking to read. She must have really loved him so much. It's a love story gone wrong.
