Ghost Spotted (Totally not Burrito!)
November 18, 2022 by Jenna -
While I thought spooky season was behind us, I was in for a true shock today when I was cleaning the front rooms and saw a ghost.
Let me tell you exactly what happened.
I looked up briefly from sweeping and that’s when I saw it. I saw a fast moving figure pushing a giant barrel across the room. The barrels are quite heavy so whatever force was pushing it, was strong and determined. The figure was just a blur of yellow. Which is weird, because usually figures are dark, aren’t they?
I quickly ran out of the front rooms and approached the Playroom door, to get a better look at the “ghost” I had spotted. I began to question myself and wondered if this was all in my head. My heart was racing.
I rounded the corner and saw the “ghost” staring out the window, blankly. Again, the figure I was looking at was highlighter yellow in color – which is still so strange to me. Then, out of nowhere, the ghost looks at me. We make eye contact for what feels like eternity. Then, suddenly, the “ghost” starts drinking water. I also found this puzzling.
I am still frozen in fright at this point. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know who to call on the radio. My feet feel like they’ve been nailed to the ground.
Unexpectedly, the ghost turns and starts running straight at me. In that moment, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. I wanted to scream but I couldn’t. I was completely frozen.
The “ghost” clutches the caging that separates us. They bop up and down. They hit the caging. They open their mouth and reveal their teeth to me. I will never forget those teeth.
Then, what happens next will surprise you… The “ghost” starts LAUGHING. While looking straight into my eyes, they start laughing. Can they sense my fear? Do they find my fear amusing? Are they taunting me?
Okay, I’m done with this thriller novel.
If you have watched the video already, you will see that this “yellow ghost” was indeed our friend, Burrito. He had a neon yellow blanket draped over him all morning and was being extremely silly!
If you haven’t watched the video yet, go watch it and this will all make sense!
I hope you get a chuckle out of it 😉
