The night tightens over Charlotte Amalie and the cobblestones cool beneath your feet. Lanterns and shopfronts blur into pools of amber as a local guide leads a small group through narrow streets where the past still pushes at the present. Voices drop; the guide stitches family stories, documented events, and island folklore into a steady beat that keeps the group close and the hairs on the back of your neck alert.
