#vssGhostTales 2023, from the makers of #vssHauntedHouse.

Come and tell us a 👻 story!

Running for one year only.

No porn or politics - you'll be blocked.
Fantastic piece!🖤👻
You recall she had hope - the lights in her house would go on again, she told you. The ones that counted.
New lights came on. She disappeared.
You saw her one day.
'What happened?'
'You can't permanently exorcise what the world makes so easy to let in.'

Awesome write!🖤👻
#vssGhostTales
Ghosts of regret took over his mind. Kept him awake at night.
Their howls and sneers drove him mad.
When he was dragged for an #exorcism, he was halfway lost. Deep inside his thoughts.
He guessed the exorcism was a success, as only the ghouls of ignorance have won.

Fantastic piece - we love this!🖤👻
During the #exorcism, when the young girl cursed in backwards Latin, the priest told them not to worry.

When the #flock of bats slammed into the window, he told them not to worry.

When the REAL priest was found dead, he laughed, and told them that now they could worry.

Such a fantastic idea if somewhat scary! Love it!🖤👻
They brought in a priest to perform an exorcism, but the power of Christ did not compel him, nor did that of Yahweh, Buddha, Allah, Shiva, or any of the others. His gods had died and been forgotten long ago. He was all that remained: an ghost of the ancient powers. #vssghosttales

As the fire burned down to its embers, the father continued telling his tale. Silently, the ghost girl leaned in. She was anxious about whether he’s get the details of her life right this time. #vssghosttales #scififri #SciFiSat
As it's nearly Christmas, watch as the fire burns low, only embers left.

Responses may be delayed due to holiday/family time. Happy Holidays all.

We wonder if ghosts celebrate Christmas? Whether they give each other #presents?

Perhaps it's bottles of... *ahem* spirits (Sorry...).

Please tag #vssGhostTales

Our forty-ninth #prompt is #presents (#49 - it doesn't have to be as in "wrapped gifts")🖤👻

*All* the emotions in this write - awesome, incredible, piece.🖤👻
The ghost left presents to indicate her presence: a creak in the floorboards, the crash of a crystal goblet, a rattle of the shutters on an otherwise silent night, but she remained a secret Santa, as the inhabitants were not moved by her spirit. #vssGhostTales

Hello wonderful ghost-writing friends!

We've scheduled tomorrow's prompt on the "other" app, but we can't find a way to do it here and unfortunately have a prior commitment that means it may be delayed by a day. Will post here on Saturday and sorry for the delay.🖤❤️🖤👻
