Instead of an incantation bowl, you can set out a water bowl. What would be good treats for a ghost? Marshmallows? Bubble wrap? ---

Maybe that was his status when he became a ghost. ---

Kinda baked, yes. 😃 Boo Berry was, originally, based on the voice and appearance of actor Peter Lorre, who had a unique facial appearance, including prominent, heavily-lidded eyes.

When I’ve been hospitalized the last few times. The grandsons slept in the big bed in my room so they could watch TV while going to sleep. I’m going back to rehab tomorrow. The boys won’t sleep in the ghost room. I even tried to bribe them; $1 per night. Nope, can’t be bribed. I kinda like someone to sleep there to keep the pets company. Nope. No one will. ---

But, but there is someone/something sleeping there with the pets already. ---
