Today's theme is ghosts.
Ghosts are the spirits of the departed come back to earth for unspecified reasons. They usually wait until late at night, when we are most scare-prone, to appear in the bedrooms of the living, waking us with their screeches and howls when a normal whisper would suffice.
Some say ghosts will go away once they have settled some important issue here on earth that is bothering them. I wish that were true of the living. Ghosts rarely specify what the issue is, making it difficult for the living to provide assistance. The living have to go to the library and research the history of their house to determine who was violently murdered in an unsolved fashion. The living then must solve the murder, despite initial police skepticism and unbelieving/unhelpful spouses. Luckily, they have the eerie, clue-filled drawings of their children to aid them.
In the end, the ghosts return to wherever they came from, often without a thank you visitation, and the living enjoy normal family activities again, but with gratitude for their now ghost-free life.

Cool pic!
He scared the dog. Don't scare the dog. We love dogs.
Don't forget the inexplicable behaviour of the house pets. Nothing screams "ghost" like inexplicable pet behaviour.
I wonder if Ghosts Have/Had Pets & what happens to them?(I feel one of my Stephen-King Headaches coming on.......)
Boo!
Have you seen the video of the ghost of Michael Jackson? It's all over Youtube.
Gratitude? HA! I want th' ghostie to cough up the cash for all the stuff they've damaged...and then there's the mental anguish caused..can you sue a ghost? :P
Very cool spirit pic.
I hear most of them write lovely thank you notes but since they are ghosts, the notes are transparent so they never get read. A shame really.
Absolute BEST line: "Some say ghosts will go away once they have settled some important issue here on earth that is bothering them. I wish that were true of the living." [emphasis mine]
If that ghost starts doin the moon walk I'm outta here!
Kurt, could you give me a clue on how I might find a gay or lesbian friend here in Japanland.
Someone needs to reset their ISO settings.
Great post. Love the outlining of the ghost's life along with the outline of the ghost in the pic.
NYD - look in the closet.
ditto the Silver Fox comment
what a cool pic and wonderful post. agree with silver fox...what a line.
What a amazing photo. Wow! I became a believer of ghosts a few years back when I stayed at a bed and breakfast in Missouri. I woked up in the middle of the night with a hand on my shoulder....NO ONE WAS THERE. AND....I heard the knocker knock on the outside of my door. I opened it, and NO ONE WAS THERE.
Since then...I believe. I have even gotten into the Ghost Hunters show...as creepy as that can be at times.
What an excellent pic!
Maybe the dog just passed blue gas.
i enjoyed this post and the word or term,
"scare-prone" very much. i am looking through kid's drawings right now-- you're right again, Kurt--eerie and clue-filled.
