The scientists and parapsychologists were screened by Ghost himself, using what I call his Bullshit Detector with the sensitivity cranked up high. I took it very well, Ghost said. Not everyone goes gently into this new knowing. Hell, some can t or won t go at all. I ve been branded every sort of charlatan, hypnotist and devil, but privately, only.
Ghost inspires a deep fear in some folks.
None have denounced me in public. There ve been no sermons preached against me, no National Enquirer articles, no learned editorials calling for my censure. Ghost didn t want everyone to know, but if there s something he doesn t want anyone to know he hasn t confided it in me, which makes a certain sort of sense, I guess. There have been theories by the bushel basket, but at the end of the day they were only words, just nouns. Descriptive, but no more.
