To think that a classic ghost story, with classic ingredients, DOES NOT INCLUDE A TOWER!

[Salmotrutta]

Towers with secret doors are FOR FAIRYTALES.

Not ghost stories.

FGS.

You are very wrong.

All ghost stories have a tower with a secret door, THAT MUST NOT BE OPENED IN A THUNDERSTORM

Ghost stories involve broken down cars in the middle of no where and phones that either lose battery or signal.

FACT.

Rubbish

It must have a neighing horse.

YABU

You obviously didn't go to school in the early eighties

But where else do they keep the pesky mad women who break out and roam the house on a stormy night?

I think you'll find you are talking bolleaux usual.

As usual.

Thank you.

If not a tower, than an attic, which is a bit like a tower.

If you think I'm watching that tethers you ARE MAD.

Also basements or attics can be involved. No towers. Only her with the long hair has a tower.

Well, if you'd said attic...

How about a cellar?

With a dodgy lightbulb?

I think, squoosh, you'll find you are making the elementary mistake of confusing a ghost story with mid 19th century quasi-gothic literature.

The best ghost stories are in big fuck off houses with towers.

Phones? SP ,no phones in the olden day ghost stories.

It was kind of ghosty though as she gave poor old Jane Eyre the proper shits.

I'm not from the olden days so I'm doing modern ones

Whats her name with the long her and lives in a tower?

Edgar Allen Po.

The best ghost film I ever saw had a ghost up the tower.

I think that's the phrase Charlotte Bronte used 'the proper shits'

Usual Was it called 'The ghost in the tower' as well

That's a great name for a ghost story.

The ghost up the Tower.

I might write it,

But what would it be about usual Its a bit of a vague title

Carry on up the tower?

You will all want to know me then, when I'm signing copies in Waterstones.
