I haven't had anything to write on my blog in a little while (yes, I
have posted, but those have been posts from January or February that I
hadn't yet put up). But something I haven't gotten a lot of complaints
about have been my reports about brushes with ghosts.*
A
couple of the crappiest cameras we have here are the ones in the halls
downstairs and in the building next to us. While that has proved
problematic when trying to identify patrons or suspicious individuals,
it does wonders for would-be ghost sightings.
Take
this image, for example. I glanced at the monitor and there was a
shape standing on the west stairs in a long white dress, the kind nobody
wears anymore. Of course, she had no face.
Well, I've seen this phenomenon before--and haven't we all awoken on a Monday morning forty minutes before our alarms are set to go off only to discover that we have no face?--so I watched the spectre in question. Turns out it was just a young woman, posing for photos, and color me surprised, she was not thrilled to hear that I had mistaken her for a ghost.
Between you and me, if you came up to me sometime and said, "Holy cow, I totally thought you were a ghost," I would take it as a compliment. Also, feel free to sub out "ghost" with "zombie," "devil-worshiper," "Child of the Corn," "serial killer," "wereoctopus," or "pervert."
Apropos of nothing, ghosts often tell Chuck Norris stories around campfires.
P.S. You may be wondering what the title of this post is all about. To be honest, I couldn't decide if the ghosts should have gotten a point, with me getting zero, or the other way around. Ultimately, I decided that I needed a win, just this once.
*Of course, I haven't gotten any compliments about it either, but whatchoogondo?
