Real ghost stories never
happen to your cousin's friend in Ohio. No one opens ghost stories
with “You won't believe this.” Ghosts do not lead great-grandchildren
to buried treasure or secret love letters or proof of innocence.
Ghosts are half-seen shapes
and inchoate feelings. Ghosts are glimpses in broken glass in
the night or whispers on the cusp of sleep. If a ghost was ever
something that could be interpreted on a human scale, it isn't anymore.
Real ghost stories are
not told. Everyone has one, but what you have seen, you can never
speak, any more than can I.
