I raised a finger in protest. “I believe the term I used was
‘weirdo,’ not crazy. Don’t put words in my mouth.”
Another laugh fell softly from his lips. “Okay, then, my
fellow weirdo. What did you want to ask me the other day before we
were interrupted by Bella Swan?”
“Let me start with this: What made you get into ghost
hunting? You’ve witnessed my glorious crossing. But what about
you?” I tucked my legs up onto the chair alongside me. Now that we
were becoming friends, I figured I might as well learn a thing or two
about him as well as about my new interest.
He looked surprised again. “Not exactly what I was
expecting. But okay, let’s see. I guess I’ve always been interested in
it. I was kind of like your dad when I was a lot younger. I just thought
the paranormal was the coolest thing. I loved the movies and scary
stories and everything.
“Then when I was in college, my best friend, Susannah,
started having some creepy experiences in her dorm room. So a few
of my friends and I thought we could go ahead and just ghost hunt
like they did on TV. We got a bunch of voice recorders and video
cameras and set about trying to tell whatever it was to leave
Susannah alone. Since we didn’t know anything more than what
we’d seen in the media, we wound up ending the night early once
my buddy Ethan got a glass thrown at him.
“After that we got knocked off our high horses and we
wound up contacting Lark Hollow Paranormal to ask for some help.
They set the record straight and we found out that the spirit in
Susannah’s dorm was a pervy kind of middle-aged man who — for
some reason unbeknownst to us — did not want to leave the girls’
dorm. Go figure, right?
“Anyway, from there, we wanted to be legitimate, so we
wound up signing up for Lark Hollow’s training program, and they
made ghost hunters out of us. Susannah, Ethan, and I are the only
ones who are still in it right now; the rest of them dropped out
somewhere along the way. But we take it really seriously. We’ve
been doing it for six years now, since we were twenty-one.”
