Diary Entry by: Madeline | Illustrations by Erin Zingré
I am thoroughly convinced that Jason's apartment is now haunted by a ghost who lives in one of his thrift store finds. He recently bought a BEAUTIFUL backgammon set from goodwill. I think it's faux leather but it looks so damn classy. Like....you should be drinking a whisky and smoking a cigar with it. Since he bought it, it's been untouched for awhile. But since quarantine has started Jason and I have been playing more board games to try and ease our minds. We decided to finally play the backgammon set. When we did, he kept rolling really lucky dice, when it was my turn I got epically bad rolls. There was one point where I was about to win, but he literally rolled 2 insanely rare rolls in a row. We joked that I had the unlucky dice so we switched. But guess what? The same thing happened AGAIN. We played like 20 more times and I literally lost ALL of the games. We came to the conclusion that the ghost was probably an old man, and that for whatever reason I got on his nerves. So we started calling the ghost "grandpa ghost".
Today I was in the bathroom minding my own business in the bathroom when the door MYSTERIOUSLY opened. I think grandpa ghost was being super judgemental about me spending too much time in the bathroom plucking my facial hair. The door opening has never happened to either of us. Jason has lived in this apartment for 3 years, i've lived here off and on for a while and this has never happened to me either.
Other than those strange happenings, I have no other evidence as of today. But will continue to write down any strange activity I see. Overall I don't think grandpa ghost is a threat, I just don't think he likes women with strong personalities. But guess what grandpa ghost? Because of quarantine, I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
