Ghost stories
On Halloween morning Maya comes to me in the bathroom and says, "Look it's a ghost mommy!" I say "where is it?" She looks into the bedroom, which is connected to the bathroom and says, in a friendly voice, "Come on ghost come in here with me and my friend Mommy, come on, it's OK, come on." The whole time waving her hand the way you would to show someone which way to go. Then she closes the bathroom door. I ask "Is it in here". She says "No he's still in the bedroom". I ask her what he looks like and she says "he is red...red and blue". I then decided it must be some sort of game because of the colors, and decide it's nothing, and I'll see if she brings it up again. So we go about her planned day, trick or treating and visiting Grammy. While we are at Grammy's house we take pictures of her in her costume in the back yard. Then we go home and go to bed.
The next day, I was in the kitchen fixing some breakfast, and I hear Maya say..."Not again!" She usually says this if she spills something, or makes some sort of accident. So I go in the room and ask her what happened. She replies "The ghost is in the bedroom, again" i ask her where he is, and she turns around like she knew where he was, and then says "Oh, he's gone now". That night I finally got around to taking the pictures from Halloween onto the computer, and when I was emailing them I noticed something strange...Here are the pics.
