When this book about ghosts was being written, a spooky voice kept telling the author to stop, please, please do not go on. The author ignored the publisher, and continued. Sometimes these stories are a bit cheeky but harmless really. They had to be told to find a way out of the fires of Hell before the fuel prices make them close down. So, are you ready to enter a world where ghosts roam freely and their laughter echoes through the afterlife?
