What is a ghost story?

Some say it’s a supernormal tale involving people. I like that word better than paranormal. Supernormal sounds like more than usual. Perhaps it’s a pillow filled with feathers instead of rags, or a fat, blueberry-filled biscuit. Like cream instead of skim milk. Like the luxury of gravy instead of nasty, dry meat. Like a lobster sunset instead of a shy blush.

Kids and ghosts have much in common. Both can and do change shape. Both know how to hide.

Children understand the supernormal without even trying. For them, it’s like laughing or crying—it just happens.

Ghosts are extra-normal around here.

Does that mean more real than the living?

I think it does.

My hands tremble. I wipe the handle of my bell and clean my horn.

I know I’m not responsible for that plate, nor is Eliza Rebimbas. Is a batch of supernormal wonders a good thing?
