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

Towers with secret doors are FOR FAIRYTALES.

Not ghost stories.

There's an Evil Power in the Tower.
There's sumfin' in there, I saw it glower.

'There's a ghost up the tower,' said Uncle Gregory.

'OK, I'll never go there,' said Timmy, running off to the Isle of Wight Festival with his chums.

The End.

I might write a bit more in the middle about rocking chairs and pictures with moving eyes.

Bimblepops · 14/06/2013 23:30

I have to be honest...I've never heard a ghost story with a tower in it...

squoosh · 14/06/2013 23:30

Maybe the ghost story will be set in Gower.

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 14/06/2013 23:31

Can you add a creepy huge pram that moves on its own in an empty room

Salmotrutta · 14/06/2013 23:31

But Timmy would go Up The Tower Attic

Purely because Uncle Gregory said not to.

And he'd go alone.

Thems the Rules.

squoosh · 14/06/2013 23:31

And there has to be a grey rocking horse with a white mane that rocks even though there is no one in the room.

Salmotrutta · 14/06/2013 23:32

A lone voice in the wilderness.

Can one of the characters be taken up the tower?

usualsuspect · 14/06/2013 23:34

Bimble has been bribed, I think

OOh The Breakfast Club.

Judd Nelson could star in the film adaptation of the Ghost up the Tower.

usualsuspect · 14/06/2013 23:35

Always lowering the tone, Tethers.

Salmotrutta · 14/06/2013 23:36

Or... The Ghost Up The Attic.

PAGANS

Can we have pagans?

Bimblepops · 14/06/2013 23:38

Bloody marvellous film...

usualsuspect · 14/06/2013 23:38

YY to pagans, dancing naked in weird masks.

squoosh · 14/06/2013 23:38

Ghosts penetrate the darkness, not the darkness of your bumhole.

HauntedArmchairOfDoom · 14/06/2013 23:38

The GREATEST GHOST STORY OF ALL TIME has a tower.

Viz, The Turn of the Screw.

HTH.

Salmotrutta · 14/06/2013 23:39

I sense a theme to add to our collection:

The Eels In Caves documentary

MN in Jail

MN The Musical

The Ghost Up The Tower Attic.

You don't want that ectoplasm up your arse.

Bimblepops · 14/06/2013 23:40

If you want a good spooky film, try and see Paperhouse.
