I'm glad you liked it, LEJ and Kat. Of all the ghost stories I tell here in Boston, that's the one that I hear back about from high school kids that remember me telling it when they were younger.

I tell a lot of the classic ghost stories too. But since I learned most of my favorites out of Maria Leach's "The Thing at the Foot of the Bed" and then didn't see it for years after I started telling the stories, my versions tend to be a little different. In my "Golden Arm," for example, the person with the golden arm is an ex-swordfighter...

I love the ghost stories on this thread, though. I'm trying to figure out whether or not to ask people by PM if I can tell them or if just asking in the thread is enough.
