They're so cute though.

Also I have some things that do scare me. I don't look at mirrors when it's dark. Just in case 😂😂

A comic strip.

1: Man: I thought you'd died?
Ghost reading a book: my life has ended but I cannot pass over to the spirit realm when so much remains undone

2: Man's voice: you mean all these books you bought and never got round to reading?
Ghost standing beside an overflowing bookcase: it won't take long. There are fewer distractions when you're dead

3: A few months later
Man: is it me, or are the piles getting bigger?
Ghost surrounded by piles of books: my library card still works! But once I've read these I'll start on the ones in the attic.

Got myself a little treat.

These are my favourites.

A little spiral bound book.

It is called Haunted Dolls. A sticker book.

A sitting blond doll in a blue dress.
"You act like collecting your hair is weird or something"

A standing black haired doll in a blue dress.
"You seem distant, is another doll haunting you?"

A standing goldy/orange haired doll in a cream dress.
"Those stairs don't just creak themselves you know"

Dylan, the 20yo, and I are going to do a night time tour & ghost hunt in a couple of weeks and the 14yo is incredibly annoyed that he can't go as it is 18+ and now I have to find one that he can do.

Also made the 14yo a corned beef, gouda, and hot English mustard sandwich and very carefully didn't put as much mustard on his sandwich as I would on my own 😂😂

If you want to start reading horror, and it's always a good time to start, this is a great list.

He has now watched The Mummy 4 or 5 times.

I have watched it ??????? times

🦇👻💀 Mel 💀👻🦇 @melbailey.bsky.social · 2d

Dylan thought that watching The Mummy "3 or 4 times" was lots and this is how you get statements like "You haven't watched The Mummy enough and it shows".

Anyway he's going to watch The Mummy with me soon.
