My Friend Sarah
-by Guy Haines
As all true Dark Shadows fans know, the ghost of Sarah Collins' favorite song is "London Bridge." When she appeared in her ghostly form, she sang it often, played it on her flute and, on one occasion, possibly played it on the piano in the Collinwood drawing room. However, during the 1795 flashback, she was never heard to sing it even once. Years ago, some resourceful fans discovered that the song "London Bridge" did not exist in the in the year 1795. According to Wikipedia, although there were earlier tunes and lyrics, the song as we it know it today was first recorded in the year 1879. So how did Sarah Collins learn this song? The following story is your humble author's explanation, under the supposition that even a ghost can learn a new song.
