Description

In literature and in film, ghosts are often portrayed as malevolent entities, bent on destructive acts of mischief, mayhem, even murder. I prefer tales that depict these often tortured souls as characters that are sympathetic to the good people struggling through the hard, real world around them. I like to think that ghosts step in on occasion from the shadowy hinterlands, perform a happy little miracle, then fade back to let their action enrich and intrigue the beneficiary of their philanthropy. Of course, even when dealing with an altruistic apparition, it's probably not a good idea to make it angry.
