Pegman – A Busy Haunting
Here is my story for What Pegman Saw. I’ve missed a few weeks but I’m very busy at the moment. February/March is audits, budgets and all sorts!
This week we’re on the Clinton Road in New Jersey. This road is notorious for sightings of ghosts, Satanists, witches and even the Ku Klux Klan.
Of course, I bet they all like to come back after death and join the other ghosts… prepare to be terrified to your verrrry corrrre 🙂

Woo-woo!
“Oy! Who are you?”
“We are the ghosts of witches past!” said a witch.
“Well, we’re the ghosts of Satanists past and this is our week,” said a Satanist.
“Don’t think so,” replied a witch. “I’m pretty sure we’re up.”
Woo-woo!
“We are the ghosts of the Ku Klux Klan. Shudder in fear at… oh, it’s you.”
“Oh, great,” said a witch. “The bloody KKK.”
“It’s getting pretty crowded around here,” said a Satanist.
“There’s been a bit of a scheduling error,” said a witch, checking her diary. “We’re all booked in.”
“Well, we can work with the witches,” said a Satanist, “but everybody hates the KKK. Bugger off.”
“I’ve never been so insulted in my life!” said a Klanner.
“Pretty sure you have,” said a witch.
And so the KKK left in a huff, leaving the witches and Satanists, who had always been of the same mindset, to haunt the road in peace.
Dear Ali,
I don’t know about frightened, but I certainly laughed to my verrrrry cooooore.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Dear Rochelle,
It didn’t turn out quite as bone-chillingly horrifying as I thought it would 🙂
I’m glad you liked it!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! 11 hour working days are frazzling my brain but I managed to think of a story this week 🙂 I’m sure 30 years ago I didn’t have this problem…

It would be chaos otherwise. Everyone would turn up at once 🙂

I love the way your mind works, Ali! This was fun. Apparently in the afterlife there is no more organisation than in the present one! Could you imagine if we had to add some other evil spirits. Total mess I tell you, total mess!

I guess those in the afterlife are just as disorganised as they were when they were alive 🙂
Let’s hope no-one else turns up!

Thank you for the laugh. I enjoyed how the overscheduling was solved ~ get rid of the least liked “haunters.” Your long days haven’t cramped your style in the least.

They should have kept them around to pick up the litter off the road… that’s about all the Klan is good for.

Hilarious, Ali. I wonder who does the bookings. It seems everything is booked these days. It’s no doubt a popular tourist destination. 😀 — Suzanne

Seems like a pretty normal day at work for them. Chilling and scaring others away. It’s their fun way to work, I guess. 🙂
