It’s Halloween week on Yeah Write!

Write a story that otherwise starts out as realistic fiction, but eventually incorporates the appearance/presence of a ghost.

I just read a collection called Stay Awake by Dan Chaon that I referred to as “ghost stories for grown ups”. There’s no literal mention of a ghost in any of his stories, but you always have the feeling that something creepy is about to happen to the main character, that some paranormal influence is acting on them.
