You seldom see the term "ghost rewriter" used, if you've ever seen it at all. If you search that term online, you'll see tons of site listings for ghostwriters and then maybe some sprinkled in for rewriters. Ghostwriting is the more familiar service, which is an involved method of getting a book written that's based on a concept, notes, and or interviews with and for the person who wishes to put their name on the book cover, even though they don't write the book (there are far more books written by ghostwriters, including best-sellers, than you may be aware of). So, what is a ghost rewriter? Maybe it's self-explanatory. If not, you'll know more in a minute, as well as why an author might want a rewriter on his or her team.

There are new, budding, and prolific authors who are do-it-yourselfers. They appreciate input from an editor because they sincerely want to put the best book out there that they can write, but they want to do all the writing and revising. There are other new, budding, or prolific authors who want to write a rough draft of their fiction or non-fiction manuscript then turn it over to someone else to rewrite and revise it, including writing additional content, if needed, until it's ready for readers. If you're in the first group, you may wonder why any author would do what those in the second group do.

One reason may be that the author never focused on the technical and or creative mechanics of writing, and has no intention to. Ever. These writers rely on their editor / ghost rewriter to bring what they write to finished form. There are other authors, new or not, who don't have the time, or inclination, to do more than a rough draft, so rely on an editor / ghost rewriter to bring their manuscript to the finished-product level. Yes, your book – your baby – is, after all is said and done, a product you promote and sell.

Ghost rewriting can be an involved process (though not as involved as ghostwriting usually is) because now the editor / rewriter is creating what is essentially a new first draft that will need to go through the revision process just as an author doing all the writing would be required to do. The author is the one credited for the work; though, mention of the editor usually appears on the copyright page, in acknowledgments, or both. Credit for services rendered is up to the author. But the fact that someone ghost rewrote (or ghostwrote) the book isn't mentioned, at least, not usually.

If you think this is a form of cheating, please consider that a number of best-selling authors do a version of this: They engage a co-author to write their book (s). A good example is James Patterson. At some point in his career, he shifted gears from being a solo writer, and his fans (I'm one of them) don't mind at all. They want to be entertained Patterson-style, and he fulfills this for them. He fleshes out an outline for a novel, working on it until he's satisfied, and then he sends it to one of his co-authors to write the novel (that's what the other names on his book covers are about, in case you weren ' t certain). This happens with Patterson's input and approval about what's written, of course. What a terrific opportunity and win-win-win-win for him, the co-author, the publisher, and readers.

What you, as an author, need to decide is what works best for you; what helps you accomplish your desired outcome. Sometimes the best assistance for you is to have your manuscript evaluated or to use substantive editing services so you know how to improve your book. Just make sure the person doing this is going to provide you with enough guidance you'll use to revise your manuscript so it becomes the engaging book for readers you intend. And if you need or want more assistance than that for the reasons listed above, or for some other reason, consider a ghost rewriter who'll take your manuscript where it needs to go but not require his or her name on your book cover.

There's an advantage to working with an editor / ghost rewriter: You can choose to start out with a completed rough draft or submit one or more chapters at a time, until the draft is completed (a number of my clients prefer to work this way) ; just be consistent about writing so that you never allow the momentum to flag. Yet another advantage to working with an editor / ghost rewriter, if you're committed to improving your skills, is that you see what the person did with your manuscript and learn from it.

Ghost rewriters are skilled writers but may not wish to travel the publishing path themselves. They love writing and are avid readers. They love assisting authors, especially indie authors, to put their best foot forward for their particular audience. This is another win-win-win experience. As a new, budding, or – if you'll pardon me – somewhat lazy author when it comes to the technical and creative mechanics of writing, finding the rewriter right for you can be the difference between not going far (or anywhere) with your book and going the distance (and getting great reviews).

No matter which group from above you fit into, the fact is this: No writer ever completes a book entirely alone. At least, writers shouldn't, if they want to put the best book they can into publication. There should be one or more qualified beta readers involved to give quality feedback. At some point an editor needs to be involved, without exception. Line-editing may be needed. Eventually, the services of a proofreader are required. Best-selling authors have teams who assist them, whether they go the indie or traditional publishing route. And if you're Patterson and want to publish ten books a year to keep your readers and publisher deliriously happy, you engage the services of co-authors. If you're not 100 percent confident about your skills or don't have or want to take the time to go the distance, you put a ghost rewriter on your team. A team makes a dream come alive.

I wish you the best with your writing and progress, always and in all ways.

Becoming a ghost hunter is considered to be one of the most popular hobbies in today’s world. If you are interested in conducting a ghost study in order to establish proof of ghosts, it is important that you know the steps on choosing a digital voice recorder to capture true ghost sounds. Most professional ghost investigators today elect to use this type of recording device for the simple fact that it has the capability to record a large amount of data and it is considered to be much more convenient that traditional recording systems that use standard tapes. In this guide, you will learn what features to look for when shopping for a digital recording device that will capture ghost sounds.

The first feature that you should pay close attention to when it comes to choosing a recording device that is digital in nature is the recording time that is part of the device. Most ghost investigations average anywhere between two hours and five hours in length. It is essential that you purchase a recorder that has the capability to record a minimum of two hours worth of sounds. Fortunately, the technological advancements associated with this piece of ghost hunting equipment have now allowed manufacturers of the units to integrate well over two hundred hours of recording time into the devices. If you are just starting the process of becoming a ghost hunter, this type of recording time will be perfect for you.

When you are looking to capture ghost sounds, it is important to choose a digital voice recorder that has many features associated with the actual recording process. When shopping for this piece of ghost hunting equipment, you will discover features such as voice activation, LCD display screens, fast forward features, rewind features, the integration of time and date, as well as a cut feature that will allow you to successfully omit any sounds that you do not want to include in your paranormal investigation evidence files. When becoming a ghost hunter, you will find that ghost hunting equipment features are essential to your overall success in gathering evidence that establishes proof of ghosts.

As you can see, there are many different considerations that should be made when purchasing a voice recorder for your ghost hunting investigations. By focusing on the features that are outlined in this guide, it is quite likely that you will be able to discover a product that is effective for the ghost study investigations that you conduct. There are inexpensive and expensive digital recorders on the market today. Before shopping for yours, it is important to also consider how much you would like to spend on the device. It is important to understand that price should never be a determining factor as far as the quality of a product is concerned – especially a digital voice recorder. It is much more effective to focus on the features and the way that the unit may assist you in capturing ghost sounds.

If you are conducting a paranormal investigation, it is important to know a few tips that will allow you to capture real ghost videos that will assist in establishing proof of ghosts. Ghost investigators everywhere seek to reveal true ghost video of the investigations that they perform because of the fact that ghosts caught on tape may prove to be highly valuable when it comes to acquiring answers that the living has about the spiritual realm. The first tip in capturing real ghost videos during investigations is simply to acknowledge the fact that these videos are priceless when it comes to the validity of the spiritual plane.

Once you understand the importance of capturing real ghost videos, it is time to discover the appropriate types of ghost hunting equipment that will allow you to obtain such footage. You may opt to use something as simple as a digital camera with a video recording function, or you may choose to purchase a digital video camera that is designed for capturing true ghost video. Since most of your investigations will take place in areas that have low lighting or absolutely no lighting, it is essential that you strive to purchase cameras that have the capability of recording with no additional lighting sources, like those that have night vision features.

When it comes to paranormal investigations, portability is a must. If you are attempting to maneuver a large video recording device in order to catch real ghost videos, it is likely that you may become uncomfortable and the quality of the footage that you capture during your paranormal investigation will be poor. You must always opt for video ghost hunting gear that is lightweight and small so that you are able to keep the camera rolling throughout your entire investigation.

This real life incident still makes my hair stand on end. What I am going to describe here is related to a type of supernatural power. It is said that the body dies after physical death but it is the soul that continues to live. The soul, that is, in other terms the spirit is seen by many scientists and researchers as a form of energy. It is said that this energy leaves the body upon the death of the physical body made up of blood and flesh. But the spirit or the spiritual energy lives on.

I am going to narrate one of the most horrifying incidents I had ever faced in my life. It all started with our winter vacation in our office. I actually am a writer at POLARIX Pvt Ltd, a firm, the sole function of which includes bringing to light the various social issues of the country to light through written work.

We five friends had been planning for about one year to go out somewhere, free from the entanglements of work and stress of our daily life. Although it was my suggestion to visit a hill station or a simple trip to Goa, in order to fruitfully enjoy the vacation, Rocky had other plans in his head. Well, Rocky was one of my colleagues who work for our company. He had pre-planned to spend the entire vacation at Robert Island.

Robert Island is famous for the haunted mansion of Sir Robert Green, a famous Englishman during the British Rule in India. Rather one could call him notorious. This is because he was a ruthless mercenary. History has it that Sir Robert not only murdered his own pregnant wife and 3 years old daughter but also exploited the poor people of the island at his own sweet will. His wife Mrs. Helena Green was a generous lady and was known for her helping and virtuous nature. She often tried a lot to help those who were exploited by the notorious Englishman by giving them Gold Coins and also allowing them to have their proper share of their harvest. But luck had it that Robert came to know of these incidents happening at his back. Not only this, Mrs. Green had a strong support from a man, by the name of Rajveer who was once the King of this entire land, that is known as Panchdweep.

The villagers and his men had full faith in their King and he could not let them down. While helping the poor and the villagers in the absence of Sir Robert, he fell in love with Mrs. Green.

It is even said that the child that she was bearing and the daughter she had while being murdered was none other than Rajveer’s. Sir Robert came to know of this from a source had himself murdered both Rajveer and his wife and even the child.

But the villagers who knew that their fate was sealed after the tragic death of their King, took the law in their hands and brutally killed Sir Robert. It is said that he even killed ten villagers while the entire village attacked him, but finally, they overpowered him and gave him a painful death and that too on a New Moon night. Since then, the mansion is said to be haunted by his spirit and none dares to go there.

There were even stories about Sir Robert that he used to get each Indian kings and queens killed by contract killers and even himself killed almost 50 people in a span of 5 months just for money. In his youth, he was a fierce mercenary, and his greed also knew no bounds after marrying Helena. Helena was so fed up with her life that she had once attempted suicide but was saved by King Rajveer. From then onwards, they had an affair.

Best known for his iconic TV portrayal of the lollipop-loving detective Theo Kojak, the late, great Greek-born actor Telly Savalas had a real ghostly experience whilst driving home on Long Island at 3 a.m. one summer morning in 1954, when he ran out of petrol and decided to walk to a nearby freeway where he knew there would be a petrol station still open for service.

He walked through a wooded park, as a shortcut, when suddenly this man called out: “I’ll give you a lift!”

Savalas admitted to being quite shaken by the voice, as he hadn’t heard the big black Cadillac pull up beside him. But the man, who was dressed all in white, looked okay, and he took Telly to the service station. Once there, Savalas became instantly embarrassed on finding that he did not have enough change for the petrol. However, the stranger didn’t seem bothered by this, and just handed over some notes and said it was OK, as he could pay him back later.

Whilst they were driving back to the car, the stranger remarked to Savalas that he knew Harry Agannis. When Savalas asked who he was, the man said he was a baseball player with the Boston Red Sox. But Savalas had never heard of him. That was the extent of the conversation, and the man dropped Savalas back at his car.

The following day, Savalas received a big surprise when he read in a newspaper that the baseball player Agannis had died suddenly at the age of 24. Apparently he had died around about the same time that his name had been mentioned by the stranger in the car.

At first, Savalas attributed this to just pure coincidence. However, when he tried to phone the guy to give him his money back, a woman answered and Savalas explained why he was ringing. The woman sounded a little strange, and asked what car the guy had been driving and what he had been wearing. When Savalas told her, the woman began to cry, saying that Savalas had just described her husband – who’d died three years earlier.

Stunned by what the woman had told him, Savalas began to speculate on all kinds of possible explanations, but couldn’t really think of anything logical that would definitely account for what he had experienced on that lonely road in the early hours of the morning. Thus, Savalas eventually came to accept that, apparently, he’d taken a ride in a car with a dead man.

What is a Ghost?

I do not always see ghosts, but I sense and feel them, hear them and sometimes even smell them. When we physically die, our souls leave our bodies, and most of the time we move on to the other side. Once in a while a soul will choose, for one reason or another, not to go to the other side. It will choose to stay here on earth, becoming an earthbound spirit or ghost. Our souls are made up of energy. A ghost may have the appearance of our physical body only transparent like a watercolor. Souls can also appear as a streak of light or a ripple of energy, much like a heat mirage. When a soul appears it may also have on clothing similar to that which it wore in life. There are many reasons why ghosts choose not to go to the other side.

We are in death as we are in life and ghosts are as varied in their personalities as are the living. The souls that stay behind are a small number compared to those who cross over and move on. The notion that ghosts are harmful and evil is not based in reality. The majority of ghosts are simply unhappy, restless, lost and harmless. Remember when dealing with ghosts that you are the one with a body, you are the one with power. Treat them kindly and help them on their way.

Why do Ghosts hang around?

They are afraid to face their creator because of things they did in their life.

They fear they will not go to heaven so they fear crossing over.

There is someone that has died before them that they do not want to see on the other side.

They are afraid of letting go of their earthbound identity.

They don't know that they are dead.

They may have had a sudden or violent death.

Some believe there is no life after death, so when their soul leaves their body they don't know where to go.

They feel a strong pull of a loved one from this side, so they stay, thinking they are helping them in the grieving process.

They stay to protect a loved one.

If they die from addiction they may hang around looking for another body to inhabit so they can continue their drug of choice.

They don't feel worthy of going to the other side.

As more and more investors come back into the market, they will be bidding on properties against more seasoned investors. This bidding, especially on new REOs (bank-owned properties) can get fierce. Once an investor understands the strategies of Ghost Offers, he will be able to use them to his advantage just like the pros.

The term ghost offers likely was originated by a disgruntled realtor who was aggravated with local investors who would make offers on properties, get a contract on them and then not close when the time came. Often, these investors would cancel the contract under their inspection period clause.

For the investor, this was good strategy because he took no market risk to re-sell the property nor did he have to come up with the money to close. He was then never exposed to any market risk. This is a powerful investing strategy but for realtors, it is kryptonite to Superman. Somewhere in the day-to-day heat of battle, a real estate broker probably said that investors are like ghosts when it comes to closing on properties – sometimes you can see them, other times you can’t.

In our area, a loose-knit group of wholesalers use what I call ghost offers to the ultimate advantage. It should always be remembered, that actually purchasing a property is the last thing a wholesaler wants to do. He would much rather put the property under contract and sell it to an end-buyer who will actually bring money to the closing to buy it. The investor then makes the “spread” or profit on the deal.

This can be done in a number of ways, the two most popular ways are using an assignment of the wholesaler’s contract to the end-buyer and secondly, by transferring the beneficial interest of a land trust to the actual buyer of the property. Actually there are 17 ways to do real estate transactions with little or no money necessary from the investor.

The local wholesalers have taken the ghost offers to a new level that is similar to what happens at courthouse auctions. When an REO property is first offered for sale the group throws in 6 to 8 different offers that essentially surround the asking price of the property. By the rejected offers, the group can tell what price the property will likely go under contract.

Since they have no intention of purchasing the property, their offers can be outright foolish. An outright foolish offer is usually higher than the initial listing price. The listing agent gets fooled into thinking there is tremendous interest in the property. If one of the group gets the property under contract, the entire group markets it to their email list and sometimes they sell it.

However, if the investor who got the contract is not in their group, this “outsider” got it by bidding against ghost offers and winds up grossly overpaying for the property. This technique has been used by major players in the foreclosure auction arena since public auctions started hundreds of years ago.

In summary, if you hear the term ghost offer, consider the source because it is bad news for realtors and worse news for inexperienced investors who are trying to get newly listed REOs. The individuals who fall victim to this tactic the most are rehabbers who tend to overpay for properties because they believe they can create equity in the property by fixing it up. This is true to a point of diminishing return where the maximum price they can get is handicapped by conventional lenders and appraisals done by pooled appraisers.

There are several different types of equipment that are used during ghost investigations in order to gather evidence that will assist in establishing proof of ghosts. The most common types of equipment include cameras that take real ghost pictures, camcorders that are used in hopes of capturing true ghost video, and even digital voice recorders and other types of recording tools that are used in order to capture real ghost sounds. Recently, a new piece of equipment has been added to the ghost investigator’s wish list. This device is referred to as a geophone motion sensor.

If you are interested in becoming a ghost hunter and establishing proof of ghosts, it is important to know and understand the role of a geophone motion sensor in ghost investigations. This type of tool works by converting energy that is considered to be seismic in nature into voltage that is electrical based. In other words, it takes vibrations that are in close proximity to the device and converts it into data that can actually be measured and recorded. When translating the word “Geophone”, it actually means “Earth Sound”. This device takes the overall velocity of the vibrations that it picks up on and then transfers those vibrations into an electrical based signal.

Inside of the geophone motion sensors that are used during ghost hunting investigations, there is a spring coil that is held in place in a mounting fashion. When it is introduced to a magnetic field, it starts to move. The coil that is contained near the spring remains stationary, but the vibrations continue to travel through the device and the overall inertia results in the weak or the strong signal that is recorded due to the seismic activity that is near the unit. There are typically lights contained on the ghost hunting device that will assist in alerting a ghost investigator that vibrations are occurring within a given area.

Individuals that conduct a ghost study in locations where unusual phenomenon such as unexplained noises, the sounds of footsteps, and any type of vibration has been previously experienced will typically place a geophone motion sensor in these areas as well as a digital recording device that is able to capture photos and video images. Not only will vibrations be picked up, if the supposed spirit that is causing the seismic activity has a high level of energy, the ghost hunter may be able to successfully pick up images such as rods, orbs, and even apparent apparitions associated with the seismic activity. If you are interested in establishing proof of ghosts during ghost investigations, the geophone motion sensor is a must have piece of ghost hunting equipment.

I froze in my tracks, chilled by the hostile presence I could feel behind me. A pall of silence fell over the room. Speckled, dancing colors from the stained glass windows, paused in their movement on the walls. People entering the room stood stalk still. I slowly turned to see what had so startled me. I saw nothing. The presence remained. I squinted, trying to pierce the veil preventing me from seeing what ever it was. The image formed in my mind of an angry woman nearing seventy. Her dark hair confined in a bun on the back of her head was streaked with gray. She wore a print dress reaching well below the knee. Her black, wool sweater hung open. Her eyes flashed in anger as she ordered me out of the room.

On my first visit to the Lightner Museum in 1977, I worked my way slowly through the rooms and exhibits. Numbed with a constant onslaught of uniqueness and beauty, it took the Tiffany room to shake me into a little brighter awareness. “These articles were made by the very hands of Louis Comfort Tiffany,” I remember thinking.

In the center of the room, a large chandelier hung within my reach. In years past, artists told me that the mark of a genuine masterpiece is the compulsion the viewer feels to touch it. This cut-glass shade was no doubt such a masterpiece and I felt that compulsion. I quietly approached it. Pausing in front of it for a few seconds to admire its beauty close up, it occurred to me that there might be an alarm system and if I touched it, bells and whistles might go off bringing in the museum’s security. I still wanted to touch it. Raising my hand in defiance of the potential consequences, I extended my index finger and very gently touched a real Tiffany, cut-glass Chandelier.

At exactly that moment, the hostile presence made itself known right behind me.

Thirty years passed without my giving that experience much thought. In time I went to work for Historic Tours of America. The company wanted me to review all the historical attractions before I came on board fulltime, so I visited the Lightner Museum again. This time I moved more slowly, probably because in my thirty years in St. Augustine, I had learned more about Otto Lightner and his contemporaries than I knew on my first visit. Much of what I saw this time brought to mind stories I heard and articles I read. I remembered seeing a room dedicated to Musical Machines, on my first visit.

One of Otto Lightner’s collections was machines that can play musical instruments. On my first visit I missed the concert (11:00 A.M. and 2.00 P.M. daily). This time the concert was just beginning as I walked into that room. In the early 1900’s people were growing excited about MACHINES. They built mechanical devices to do things unimagined in the past and this room loudly echoes that excitement in a collection of cleverness and creativity forming an art form of its own. One machine even plays a violin. There are several organs and street pianos including a hurdy-gurdy. Machines were the rage of the day.

An adjoining room on the first floor exhibits two functional, blown glass, steam engines; the very essence of the age of industry blown into art. An early “word processor” (an antique typewriter) is displayed in that room right beside seashells and Indian spears. Otto Lightner’s passion was collecting. His wife probably said, “he just never throws anything away.” His button collection is upstairs with the cut glass and crystal. He collected pretty, marble ladies, elaborate furniture and unusual dishes. The list is endless.

Lighter made his money in the Hobbies Magazine business advocating the hobby of collecting. He traveled the world doing his own buying. He was an avid collector of collections and he opened a museum to house them. A visitor will find everything there from toasters to Tiffanies, from Steins to Steinways. He even collected an Egyptian Mummy. That probably has a ghost associated with it, too. Lightner’s Museum is quite a place, but the most dramatic, historical artifact there is the building itself, a tribute to the imagination of Henry Morrison Flagler. From his gardened courtyard to his marble fixtured steam room, The Alcazar Hotel is an architectural statement about beauty, luxury and pleasure.

The swimming pool fascinates me even more than the shower with the sixteen shower-heads. The pool’s ceiling, four stories above the water once could be opened to the sky. Vast decks wrapped around the pool in the upper stories, looking down upon swimmers in one of the largest, indoor pools of its day, fifty feet wide and one hundred twenty feet long. Viewing the room housing the swimming pool haunts the imagination. The room is cavernous. Shops line the sides of the pool. The Café Alcazar serves lunch in the deep end, but the ghosts are still there. Even if they can’t be seen, they can be felt echoing through the silence of that large hall. I wonder if Henry Flagler chafes over his swimming pool being turned into a theater, and if Richard Boone regrets the decision to engineer that change. The days are gone when children splashed one another in that water to the echoes of Beethoven from the orchestra above, while their dancing parents in formal attire watched over them, far below.

My visits to the Alcazar Hotel always include time in the pool and reflection of the grandeur of those past spring nights. As I wander through the building, I try to imagine how it must have been as a hotel. On this last visit, I wandered and mused as before but to my surprise, I had a jarring reminder of my first arrival at the Museum.

After visiting the gymnasium, Lightner’s dining room and the cut glass creations, I finally reached the Tiffany Room. Many years had passed since my last trip to see the actual museum exhibits. The slightly darkened room allowed the colors of Tiffany’s wonderful creations to be highlighted by the sun shining through the window. It took my eyes a moment to adjust and when they did, the first thing I saw was that Tiffany chandelier. I walked closer for a better look and felt the same compulsion I felt, the first time I was there. I wanted to touch it. The same thoughts occurred, as before – what if there is an alarm system. This must be pretty valuable. I didn’t want to cause a stir or get into trouble, but still. I wanted to touch it. I raised my hand, extended my index finger and touched a real Tiffany creation. The ghost was still there.

I went back to the Lightner Museum today to get photographs specifically to photograph that Tiffany Chandelier for this article. I expected to find orbs in lots of the pictures, since many people in St. Augustine talk of how haunted that building is. I was looking forward to finding out if the ghost was still there.

Not only was the ghost not there, the chandelier was not there, either. I went to a museum attendant and asked about the chandelier and was told to go to the desk downstairs and ask there. The person I spoke with at the desk had been working at the Lightner Museum for decades. When I asked about the chandelier, she answered, “What chandelier?”

I asked if the exhibit had been changed in the last few years and was told that the Tiffany exhibit had not been changed or altered in any way in more than forty years. I walked away shaking my head. Not only was there no chandelier, there had never been a chandelier.

When I got home I called the person who was with me on my last visit and she confirmed that we had seen a chandelier and that I was not losing my mind. The experience left me somewhat disconcerted. I’m not used to having ghosts play with my senses in this way.

Former Dallas star Charlene Tilton, who played the “Poison Dwarf” Lucy in the popular eighties soap, claimed that she was haunted by the ghost of her grandfather.

When she was very small, Charlene lived with her mother and grandfather in a small flat in Hollywood. She was only six years old when grandfather passed away, and was often on her own when her mother went out to work. One day, her mother came home to find Charlene crouching fearfully on the doorstep. Charlene told her mother that there was something “scary” in the flat. Instantly, her mother told her that her grandfather’s spirit was lingering there in the flat.

But Charlene’s supernatural experiences certainly didn’t end with her childhood, for as she grew up she was always conscious that her grandfather’s spirit was still lingering close to her.

One day, during her teenage years, a neighbour knocked on her door and asked her to turn down the radio, which was blaring out pop music. Charlene refused. Then strange things began to happen: the plug was yanked out of the wall by invisible hands, and when Charlene pushed it back into the socket, it was pulled out again, and so strongly that sparks flew. The neighbour just stood there, mouth agape in utter disbelief. Charlene knew it was her grandfather’s ghost again.

When Charlene left home to live in another part of Hollywood to start her career as an actress and model, she thought she had left the spirit behind. But when she went to live in a new apartment with her boyfriend, her lover started to complain that the place was “spooky.” Charlene herself noticed this strange atmosphere that permeated the place. There were cold spots in certain parts of the apartment, and doors would open and close of their own volition.

Finally, Charlene decided that she’d had enough of all this ghostly activity, and so she moved home again in the hope that the entity would get fed up of following her. As it turned out, once Charlene settled down in her new home overlooking a canyon, she had no more trouble with the ghost. It seemed – much to Charlene’s relief – that her grandfather’s spirit had finally found peace.
