Ghosts.

Our topic today is spooky stuff. …

So.  The latest viral photo circulating the net is of a little girl – who apparently has some mysterious boots behind her in a photo.  Supposedly, there was no one behind her when the photo was taken– and some are suspecting that it is the ghost of a Samurai warrior because the photo was taken in Japan.  Her family attests that the photo is not edited.

Here is the OTHER photo.  

Yup.  It’s me again. You can see me peeking out over her shoulder.  The boots?  Those are my human’s rubber boots.  Everybody in Nova Scotia owns rubber boots.  Or they should.  Another mystery solved. No warrior ghost after all. 

 But speaking of spooky things – the other day, Paxton and I got really spooked out.   We were having breakfast with our human and we heard this strange rat-a-tat-tat noise.  So we started running around and barking.  Then it stopped.  Then it happened again.  So we AGAIN raced around the room and to the front door.  All the time – Frodo was looking at our human and rolling his eyes. 

It seems we have some rather strange birds in our neck of the woods.  Woodpeckers to be exact.  And the strange sound HAS happened before – but Paxton and I forgot.  The not-too-bright woodpecker likes to peck away at the metal flashing on our chimney.  So the sound comes right down the fireplace and reverberates in the house.  Frodo remembered the sound, so he didn’t care – and neither did our human.  Paxton and I on the other hand thought it was either a ghost or a burglar. Wrongo.

So that’s my ghost story for today.  Not all that scary.  My human figures any ghost would be totally scared off by the three of us – and frankly, I agree.  Hey.  I wonder if there are any stories of ghost dogs…I have to Google it…
