The Breakfast Ghosts

**Kneipp Grover, Oliver Bröd, Herb Paiskai, Basil Ostborg & Pepper Saltstraum**, collectively known as **The Breakfast Ghosts**, are a group of hungry ghosts from the Stickman Timeline. They were first introduced in the lyrics to Breakfast Ghost Home Invasion, which is sung from their perspective during a haunting.

In life, they were a group of reclusive gourmets traveling the globe looking for new and exciting dishes to try out, funding their culinary trips by selling paint thinner to preschoolers. Karma caught up to them however when on a trip in Penland, their limousine triple-decker bus got caught in an eraser landslide, erasing their earthly bodies and leaving their spirits to haunt the earth.

## Appearance

In life, nobody really liked them, and as thus nobody cared to find out what they looked like. Chefs who met them during their culinary trips only describe them in obscenities, and the children they sold paint thinner to don't dare to talk about them as they don't wanna get haunted visitors at night.

In death, their ghostly forms only include their heads and their head wear at the time of death, which happen to all be top hats. Pepper is also missing a lower jaw, as it was ripped off before death during the accident, and as thus didn't manifest in ghostly form.

## Backstory

It is unknown when their culinary club was started, but it has been said to at least have been around since the mid-80's. All five members of the group had jobs in fields such as stockbroking and real estate before quitting their jobs to become full-time gourmets.

They first met at a business convention in the Swedesk capital of Stackholm, where they bonded over their shared love of unusual food that nobody else likes. When they found out all their names sounded like food, they decided to start a private club together.

However, problems soon arose when it became clear to them that they hadn't saved up enough money to sustain this way of life for very long without an income. They also refused to become restaurant critics, as they wanted to keep all their meals and locations a secret within the club, and as thus they had to find another way to make money for travel and food. Herb had the idea of them cooking paint thinner to sell to impressionable youth, which they all agreed was a better idea than to write food reviews, for some reason.

After a few weeks of getting kids hooked on the substance, they had enough cash to invest in their signature limousine triple-decker bus, and they started their trip around the world to find the most exclusive dishes that nobody else liked. Their dapper clothes and backgrounds in "respectable professions" allowed them to escape suspicion from governments about all the children huffing paint thinner in their wake.

Tragedy struck however when traveling to Penland one winter to find a gas station that allegedly sold hot dogs made out of fried toilet paper. On their way their GPS ran out of batteries, and their vehicle ended up near the Ridnitšohkka mountain, far away from their destination. While there, one of their tires deflated, stranding them right next to the foot of the mountain, just as an avalanche flushed out an abandoned eraser mine above them. The erasers and snow covered them and their bus, erasing the gourmets and concealing their vehicle.

They were shocked to find out however that when a stickperson is erased, instead of dying from natural causes, their spirit lingers on in the same realm as when they were alive, meaning they were doomed to haunt the earth. In their new ghost forms, they found out that their hobby just got much easier, as they no longer had to care about finances, and nobody could do anything to stop them. As such they became the criminal gang now known as The Breakfast Ghosts, reveling in the freedom given to them by being dead.

## Hauntings

They have been known to target places based on obscurity, and as thus mostly haunt the houses of random people, raiding their kitchens for anything edible. Their spirit forms also allow them to digest things that people usually cannot eat, meaning they often get creative with their dishes, such as mixing in household objects and furniture into their meals.

Over 420 reported hauntings have been attributed to them over the past few years, gaining them a notoriety that rivals even The Dentist.

Self-proclaimed paranormal investigator Bubba Billy-Bob refused to investigate these hauntings, claiming it would be "way too much work".
