Ghost Stories

This weekend I was hanging out having drinks with a friend and we were up all night. But when 3 am came around, a rooster next door to my house crowed and she said, "Oh man! It's dead hour, again. I bet that rooster saw a ghost!". This sort of puzzled me because I'd heard of dead hour before but I'd never really heard it being said in this context. I'm told "dead hour" is the time when most terminally ill patients pass away because, in R.E.M. sleep, the body is at its most vulnerable and the immune system doesn't fight as fiercely anymore.

Really? Ghosts? Like, there is a ghost that terrorizes roosters all over the world at 3 am (and again at sunrise) for no other reason than it's bored?

What whack stories of ghostly apparitions do you have? Please don't let my eventual ridicule of your delusions discourage you from telling me about the time you filmed a promising sequel to "The Blair Witch Project" or the you and your teenage girlfriend were scared by a mysterious shadow and inspired you to make a video game.

How ya doing, buddy?
