Things I’ve Learned from Reading Ghost Stories

Some useful life lessons:

• If the rent or sale price seems too good to be true – it is.

• Don’t blow old whistles.

• Found an ancient artifact? And it’s got a Latin inscription? Don’t read it out loud!

• Ditto for old books.

• Just put it back where you found it. Seriously.

• Beware of “persons” in flappy flowy hooded garments.

• Beware your child’s “imaginary playmate.”

• If the mirrors are covered – leave them that way.

• Ditto for paintings.

• Ditto for plastered-over murals.

• Never scoff at “old wives tales.”

• There is no cat in the house.
