7 Day Positivity Challenge - Day 3 - Ghost Stories

This challenge was started by @conradt, and I was nominated by @snowpea in on her 5th day. The purpose of this challenge is to spread around some positivity here on Steemit, and you know me, I never back down from a challenge! Well, almost never LOL!

How are those positive? The interaction with a particular child. We had some severe storms last night and so, the internet was gone. There we sat, stranded offline. I decided, hey, want me to read you a story? And it was a great idea, several stories were read and enjoyed until dinner time. After dinner time, I made a suggestion. Let's tell some ghost stories!

The first story told was rather comical with a slight spooky twist. I made it up about a house like ours and an old man. What made it funny for her was all the old man could say was BLARBLAYARBLABLGAR or something I can't actually spell. LOL! The spooky twist came towards the end as I made it so he became part of the house and made a thumping sound in the walls when he was trying to get out. I banged on the wall a few times in good taste.

Everybody has heard this classic fireside horror story right? Couple on a drive, hears a radio broadcast. Mentions the hook hand and a bloody hook on the door at the end of the story right? Well Luna loved this and put it in her story about monster friends. There was a witch with a bat companion, a 'frankenstein', a ghost and a guy with a hook. The witch made a potion and poured it on the mean hook hand killer and turned him into a friendly vampire and became one of the monster friends. The End. She tells cute stories.

As the thunder grew louder and lightning was more frequent, I made up one that was really scary for her. It was about a man, with a family. Three little girls, in fact. One night, during a storm, the man got really hungry. He ate dinner, and was still hungry. He went to the store and got some snacks, and came home. He was still hungry. So hungry he ate the dogfood when he got out of his truck, and then the dogs. "Wait, dad, he ate the dogs?" Yes, the dogs, and then the catfood, and then the cats, before going into the house where his kids were. "He ate the cats too?" Yes the cats. He then went to the fridge and his craving was for meat and blood. He ate all the raw hamburger, steaks, fish and even cleaned the cupboards out of any canned meats...but he was still hungry. He went downstairs and...

He saw his little girl playing. She said hey Daddy, how are you. He said, I'm hungry. The lightning flashed and I made my eyes open wider looking at Luna sitting near me as she hunched in suspense. It was perfect timing because I grabbed her as the thunder clapped real loud and pretended to try and eat her. Which, made her freak out like crazy and cry and run to turn the light on. I laughed and felt sorry for her so cuddled her for the next hour and told her I only made it up. The point of this is we had some good family bonding time, which is always a positive thing. STeeM oN my peoples!
