strange and unusual stuff.

My girlfriend is moving in down the street. It's a beautiful old victorian. Great house. There's only one thing. It's got a ghost!
The house needed a few little touches before she moved in, so last night I decided to get my paint-on and pretty up the place.  It was going to be a late night and I was going to be there all alone, so I took my dog, Bailey for re-enforcements. (she can whiff out bad juju a mile away!) My friend had told me about this ghost before. She said, "my clairvoyant told me there is de-fin-ate-ly a "spirit" that lives here. But, she said, it's a cool one!". My friend is a little nutty like me and open to strange and unusual things so I just went with it and thought it might be an interesting experience. 
As soon as I got there I was a bit uneasy. The key to the front door wasn't working! Weird. I had just used this same key yesterday. I tried the back door. No luck! I tried the front door again. No problem, open sesame! Bailey was already a little spooked and we had only come in the front door! I quickly turned on all the lights and turned on the radio to the soft rock station (I mean who doesn't love the classic hits of the 70's, 80's and 90's, right?)Everything was going smooth. I was painting away singing to all the old hits. And then about a couple hours into it I heard a loud creaking noise coming from the kitchen. I looked at Bailey and she looked at me. And then another loud creak! My dogs ears pulled back and she jumped up and  I nearly fell of the ladder! I tried to settle Bailey but she wasn't buying it. I started to panic a bit but remembered those guys on the Ghost Hunters shows. They always talked to the Ghosts! So, I started a little conversation. "Are you there Ghostie? It's Me and Bailey." (My dog was looking at me cock-headed like I was a crazy-person.) I went on... "Look, Ghostie, just be cool! Give us a half hour more, no interuptions and we'll be out of your hair. Just BE COOL !!! Whaduya say?" And just then the song on the radio crackled and got real loud......

"DO YOU LIKE PINA~COLADAS?"

And that's when I knew that this Ghostie was a real "cool" one!
