Chuck

**Charles “Chuck” Callen** (1965-1994) is the Ghost of a young Politician who died after falling off a roof.

Chuck was born on November 26, 1965. His mother, Helen Callen, was seventeen when she gave birth to him. Chuck’s father ended his relationship with Helen when she became pregnant. Helen’s devoutly religious family disowned her when she became pregnant as an unmarried woman. Helen got a job as a Barmaid to support herself and her unborn child. Chuck was very close to Helen. Chuck was very academic and intelligent. At the age of 12, Chuck earned a rare Scholarship to attend an all-boys Catholic Boarding School. Despite being grateful for his opportunities, Chuck was unhappy as he was bullied due to his background. Though skilled at Rugby, he never fit in. After leaving school, Chuck enrolled at University, where he graduated with a First-Degree. After University, Chuck went into Politics. He got a flat in London and worked his way up. He became best friends with a group of young sleazy, toxically masculine men. Though Chuck knew they were cruel, he thought they cared about him and Chuck was very happy being popular (something he wasn’t used to). By the age of twenty-six, Chuck was a respected Politician with a bright future and very rich, and also having become adapted to being a Playboy. Being independently wealthy, Chuck bought his mother a house in London, where Chuck was living.

Death

In early November 1994, Chuck and his friends travelled from London to Yorkshire. They all planned to spend the week together as a retreat from their work lives. To avoid spending money on a Hotel, they stayed at Robinson House, a mansion that one of Chuck’s friends, Tobias, had been raised in. Tobias’s grandparents, Margaret Robinson and her husband, were spending the week on holiday in Spain. The first three days of the week started out fine; all the young men had fun. They raided the Liquor Cabinet of Tobias’s grandparents, and when there was no drinks left in the Cabinet, they drank drinks from the Basement. When there was no Alcohol left in the House, they went to the local Supermarket to buy more. They did this every day. Some nights, they also consumed drugs that Tobias bought off an old friend. Chuck smoked a joint of Marijuana on the third day with his friends and also snorted Cocaine on the fifth day (though he didn’t like Cocaine). Chuck’s Fiancée, Amanda, met up with them on the third day and was unhappy when Chuck smoked Marijuana. However, she forgave him in bed. On the final day, Lawrence ordered a Prostitute. After obnoxiously making comments and making the Prostitute feel uncomfortable, she finally left after an hours work. But Amanda and some of Chuck’s friends Girlfriends (who had been out hiking) saw and they ended their relationships with the guys, meaning Amanda ended her engagement with Chuck. Devastated, Chuck packed up his bags as well after the girls left and was about to leave, but his friends told him to stay and that they still had a couple of hours before Tobias’s grandparents came home. It was now getting dark, but the guys played loud music, drank lots (especially Chuck) and all partied for an hour. Chuck’s friends decided they should get ready for the Taxi’s that were coming to take them home, but Chuck was drunk and instead took his trousers off. The, Chuck climbed onto the roof. Some of his friends followed him up and were amused as drunk Chuck danced trouser-less on the roof to no music. Chuck then took his underwear off, dropping it off the roof. Chuck then lost his footing and slipped off the roof. The guys were quickly worried, informed their friends who were finishing packing and when they found that Chuck was dead, they panicked and called one of the guys father, who was a Lawyer. The father suggested that the guys dump Chuck’s body in the lake by the House. They did this without a second thought. Chuck was upset to watch this, realising his friends didn’t care about him. They didn’t care about any of each other. Chuck was happy to watch Tobias’s grandparents drive in; they got an earlier flight than originally expected. Chuck became acquainted with the other Ghosts and couldn’t help but smile as Tobias and the guys got in trouble (but was disappointed to see that Chuck’s death was kept a secret).

Chuck would have been thirty years old in a matter of weeks when he died. Seeing as he died without trousers, he has no trousers or underwear on as a Ghost,
