EXCERPT:

The cashier proceeded to ring up the umbrellas. “This is some weather we’re having. Stocking up?” she asked.

“We’re hosting a big party tonight and I don’t want my guests soaked,” Rocky explained.

She took up the umbrellas, smirking when she came across the smiley face one. She held it up in question.

“For a friend,” Rocky returned.

“I take it your friend has a big funny bone?” she asked.

“Well… ah,” Rocky paused, uncertain how to answer the question. “He… used to. Long story.”

“Hey, don’t I know you from somewhere? You’re on TV, aren’t you?” she asked with excitement.

“Well, yes. Haunted Ends. We’re shooting a Halloween show at the Juniper tonight, down the street,” he mentioned.

“$218.72,” she tallied. He handed her a credit card, and she ran it. “Is it true that that old hotel is haunted? I’ve heard rumors,” she asked as she handed back his card.

“Sam, you want to answer her?” he asked, stirring Sam from his bubble gum fantasies.

He floated over to Rocky, setting a pack of gum on the counter. “You wouldn’t happen to have this in wintergreen, would you? I have a serious case of corpse-breath,” he asked.

The cashier’s bottom jaw dropped to her chest.

Rocky gathered his bags of umbrellas. “Yes, it’s haunted,” he returned. “Sam.” He motioned they were leaving.

Sam followed Rocky from the store, not bothering to look at the cashier. He and Rocky had played the same game so many times before, he knew the woman would remain in shock for at least a half-hour. Good thing for her there weren’t many customers in the store.

“It’s a power trip for you, isn’t it?” Sam accused.

“After years…” he quickly opened the van door, slipping inside. He tossed the bags of umbrellas into the back of the van while he adjusted his wet jacket. “Uh.” He flipped the water off the top of his spiky white hair then rung the water from his long ponytail. “Right… yes, it is. After years of being called a freak for seeing ghosts, I can finally have my revenge.”

He turned to the passenger’s seat, noticing Sam watching him. “Let me guess, you want to point out this is one of those times it’s good not to have a body?”

“Actually, I was curious why you bought eighteen umbrellas and didn’t think to use one,” Sam mentioned.

Rocky stared blankly at Sam for a long moment, then glanced at the bags of umbrellas. “Son-of-a-...!”

GUEST POST:

- What is your favorite supposedly true ghost story and why?

My favorite supposedly true ghost story would have to be about the Red Ghost, which happens to be in Soul Searcher. There are a lot of legends about the Red Ghost and the skeletal remains he carried with him on his back. It's like there are two ghost stories rolled into one.

Some claim that the skeleton on the camel's back was once a soldier who was hoping the camel would take him to water. Others say he was a miner shot for the gold he was carrying. Whoever the poor man was, he was strapped on that giant beast for a long time. And then there's the camel – the Red Ghost – himself. Many ghost stories are about humans. If you're lucky, you might find one about a dog or a cat, but this is the first camel I've heard of. Then there's the fact it's a camel in the middle of the Arizona desert. There's a lot of history surrounding the story of why there were camels out there. There are so many nooks and crannies that it's hard for me not to be enthralled with this story idea.
