Donna buried everything her grandma had given her when she was still alive; a crystal vase, a wooden box and an antique doll. She wished by doing that her grandma’s ghost would leave her alone.
“That won’t keep me away, dear,” the ghost whispered, “I will follow you around till the danger has left you.”

Hi Novroz….
Several people did eerie and spooky 55’s this week.
A very welcome change of pace for this time of year.
I hope you found this little writing exercise to be creative
challenging and FUN!
Loved your Haunting 55
Thanks for playing, join us again next week, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
It’s surely challenging…but still fun 🙂
Thank you G-man 🙂
Always good to see a ghost story. Nice one.
Thank you Anthony 🙂
Grandmas sure can be persistent.
Flash 55 – prick lee
Indeed!! Especially grandmas who love their granddaughters 😉
A friendly ghost may be a good ghost to have.
Hear hear…but how do one know that the ghost is friendly 😉
We all need a Grandma ghost like that!
p.s. You asked about the Maori legend I wrote. It is based on an original one from the Napier region in North Island, New Zealand.
I don’t know about that…I mean a ghost is still a ghost 😉
Thank you for telling that here, I was just about to stop by at your blog again to see the answer 🙂
You ARE going to continue this, right? What danger? Also, what’s an antie doll?
I am not sure…yet. I quite like the hanging ending there, let reader wondering. But maybe I can elaborate it to a short one day.
Ups…I misspelled that with my own language, I meant antique. Will fix it soon.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I don’t know why I didn’t think of antique at all. I thought maybe auntie.
I would welcome such a caring “grandmotherly” ghost.
But sometimes grandma “talk” to much 😉
Oh I wonder what the danger is!
…hmm I wonder that myself 😉
That was such an unexpected twist at the end. Well done.
Thank you Caroline 🙂
Lovely! You have contributed another ghost to this book!

I couldn’t keep ghost or monster away from my story 😉
Thank you Red 🙂
