It All Started the Last Week of September
Walking to the office one morning, I noticed Halloween decorations in a shop window.
That reminded me, it's time to start looking around for some good ghost stories.
Not the kind of stuff that's been written down already. I want something original.
In the Ryukyu islands, they really don't have an occasion called Halloween.
Ghosts and their stories, pop-up all the time.
Catching one with a camera, though, that's a different story.
We're working on it.
Where the Flip-flops Meet the Road
Research, so far, has taught me a few things:
1. People believe in ghosts or, they don't.
2. Some folks like to talk about them, others don't.
3. A good ghost story will give you goose bumps (chicken skin, if you prefer).
4. When the weather is hot, ghost stories have a cooling effect on your body.
5. It's best to conduct this type of study at night.
6. In a dimly lit bar, you get more information than you would in a shopping mall or, church.
7. People with the best stories may not talk to strangers.
8. Giving a gift, of some sort, often gets its rewards.
9. Candy is dandy but, liquor is quicker.
10. Don't hunt for ghosts close to home. One might follow you.
Be Careful !
My paranormal meter senses something, behind you.
BOO !
