THE local Society of Spooks
and Spectres blames us for
unemployment among its
members.
They say a ghost has got to
have long dark halls to work
in and Pickering candles to
blow out. How can any self
respecting wrath rattle chains
or utter mournful means in a
brightly lighted room with the
radio playing swing music?
Seriously, today's children
have little chance to learn the
fear of the dark that once OPP
pressed their elders. They don't
know how shivery blackness
can be. They never fumbled
blindly for a match or felt
tremulous relief as the lamp
wick caught fame and slowly
drove back the shadows.
