Just a Regular Ghost

“MY CHILDREN? THAT … that thing wants my children? What would he do with them?” Air rushed out of her lungs.

“I wish you’d let me make you tea.”

“Does he eat kids?”

“How about honey? Would you like honey in your tea?”

She glared at him. “Tell me, or I swear I’ll … I’ll . . . ”

A slow, sly grin spread across his face. “And I thought you couldn’t look more beautiful. Did you know that when you get riled up, you’re really something? A momma bear. No, more like a panther mom ready to go for the jugular.”

“Eric.”

He blew wind in her direction, forcing her body backwards, towards the sofa. She sat and folded her arms across her chest. “That’s better,” he said.

Her hands clenched into fists.

“Have you ever met a poltergeist before?” he asked.

She shook her head.

“Well, for starters, don’t believe all the stories you’ve heard, or the horror movies you’ve seen. Poltergeists don’t come in a one-size package of misery. They come in all sizes and shapes. The most important thing to remember about them is that they are evil, pure evil.”

“Are they ghosts?”

His head toggled from side to side. “Nej. I wouldn’t call them ghosts. Mostly they’re left over anger.”

“Anger?”

“Ja, when a person dies with a lot of anger, it can be left behind.”

“And they’re dangerous.”

“I wish you would let me make you a cup of tea.”

She shook her head. “Tell me everything you know about poltergeists.”

Eric sat beside her on the couch. “They are distinctly different from all other spirit forms, a wicked mixture of negative energies, remnants of anger and hate, too volatile to pass over to higher dimensions. Black to their core.”

“And they use this dark energy in our world? My world?”

“It can’t leave the mortal plane. It’s trapped. Their pain wants to cause more pain. It feeds on pain. Like I said, it’s pure evil.”

She ran a hand through her hair. How could this be happening? An evil spirit in her house! “So what does he want with my children?”

Eric looked away for a moment as if he considered not answering her question. “Many spirits stay near their death spots or haunt specific locations for reasons of their own. Others, like me, roam. I suspect he roams in search of power.”

“Power? Why does he need power?”

“His dark energy needs fuel. I’ve heard of one who uses ancient, demon magic to satiate his appetite.”

“Demon? You’re telling me he’s part demon.”

“Ja, possibly. Demons have many ways to suck on the essence of humanity, and working through poltergeists is one of them. There is an old story about a poltergeist called Louis Lamentain who visits this town every five years. He is a local legend. I suspect your poltergeist is him.”

“Louis Lamentain?”

“If rumors are to be believed, he uses demonic powers to feed on children. They are the purest form of energy. Once fed, he moves on, only to return when his energy lags.”

“And no one stops him?”

“You saw him. He’s difficult to stop and impossible to capture.
