Posted on Reddit. Didn't get the right response.

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 14, 2009, 7:53 AM
  • Mood: Eager



"I never believed in ghosts, (In fact, I'm still not totally sure if I do yet), but my neighbour recently claimed she'd seen a ghost for the second time since living next-door to us. This wouldn't be as interesting if the previous owner, who moved out about five years ago, hadn't seen the same ghost - three times.

Okay, okay... it's entirely possible that the previous homeowner talked to our present neighbour about the house being haunted, and she's imagined it all because of that.

But then, maybe two years later (recently), a baby-sitter for my neighbour's two daughters saw it. I get the feeling that my neighbour didn't tell the baby-sitter. (She's a friend of my family, not hers.) Woooo... spooky.

Okay, so, I'm not one to believe all this spooky-haunting-ghost crap, but this has seriously piqued my interests. There could be a fucking ghost next door. And I'm not about to let this opportunity to finally prove or disprove ghosts slip by. I'm curious! I need to know!

So, here's where I need help:

* How can I try and find the ghost? (Electricity? Temperature?)
* How can I try and communicate with said ghost?
* This ghost doesn't appear to be a 'malevolent entity', so will I seriously scew up my neighbours by making the ghost angry? Will it get angry?
* Ouija board?

Like I said, not even sure if I believe in ghosts, yet... but you take one walk down their hallway and you get a shiver down your back. I think something's there."


Okay, so, I'm pretty sure there's a ghost next door. If I can convince my neighbour to let me have a little look, I'd love to. Anyone got any tips?

Also, please don't be like Reddit users and coment things like: 'Ghosts don't exist lol liberallibralrupublicans are stoopid. You're just imagining things. *' I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IN GHOSTS. But if there's a chance I can investigate something as mysterious as this, of course I'm gonna do it!

Your art is fantastic, I love your use of lighting and shading. Lots of depth.

And I have to add, you are not the only one to burn spaghetti. Ironically enough, the culinary kids at my school cooked spaghetti today, and the burnt noodles could be smelled down the hallways. C:

Friends are like potatoes. If you eat them, they will die.
:iconayem:
Haha, yeah. I'm sure people have done it before. I just have terrible culinary skills, and always make jokes about it.

And thanks!

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
:iconayem:
Thanks, but don't run! D: Your icon is too cute to run.
