Stories I Tell My Sister To Sleep: Patricia's Ghost
Do you remember your first ghost? You probably wouldn’t. It’s like remembering being a baby or your imaginary friend; eventually, the memory slips away. But, like imaginary friends, ghosts appear in the early stages of life. Mom believed ghosts gravitate toward the young because of the immense energy that is produced from them. “Think of ghosts as lost ships and children like lighthouses,” she said. “Lost souls wander about, searching for a warm, effervescent light to guide them to the Elsewhere.” Children create a similar energy that unintentionally draws lost souls. I was nine when I saw my first ghost. Most children wouldn’t remember or probably thought they had dreamt it, but we weren’t most children. You were sound asleep. I would have been too if I hadn’t heard a wail coming from outside the house. When I peered out from the window, I saw a bride roaming near our lake. The fog perfectly coalesced with her dress. It was from that moment I knew who she was; the stories our grandmother told us about are true. There was no mistaking her for none other than a Wondering Widow.
