I love ghost stories, reading and writing them. Maybe it’s because when I was a kid my favorite cartoon was Casper the Friendly Ghost. Emphasis on friendly. I’m not into horror stories of ghosts and demonic spirits creating havoc for a person.
Remember the TV show The Ghost and Mrs. Muir?

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
Now this ghost story is the kind I like.
How about that crazy movie, Ghostbusters? And one of my all-time favorites, Emmy award-winning Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Marie Laval’s Little Pink Taxi and the ghosts in that novel. And if you'd like to read a series of ghost stories, check out Jo-Ann Carson’s, The Gambling Ghosts and The Ghost & Abby Mysteries.
I love stories with ghosts in them so much that I wrote a romantic suspense novel,
Deadly Undertaking. The setting is in a funeral home—the perfect place for a ghost or what I refer to as a shadow man. Henry was a fun character to write. He's a friendly ghost that is full of mischief, but also very caring.

| Deadly Undertaking by J.Q. Rose A handsome detective, a shadow man, and a murder victim kill Lauren's plan for a simple life. |
Why is Henry haunting the funeral home? Is he the key to answer why a murdered man was left in the garage of the funeral home and hidden between the funeral coach and flower car? I mean, everyone expects bodies to be at a funeral home, but really!

Like that word and use and like those movies!
Hey, JQ. Love this word. I really didn't know of it's ghost connection, only in it's wispy, thin, pittiful connotations.
Loved both the movie and the TV show, The Ghost & Mrs. Muir. Had a huge crush on the TV ghost. I've shared.
So, Juneta, you must like ghost stories too!
Hi Marsha, glad you picked up a tidbit today about the ghost connection. I could see why you had a crush on the ghost. Isn't amazing we can look all these old series and movies online? What a world we live in nowadays.
