Happy Hour: Night of the Living Dead- Ghost Towns and Nightmares

Good evening! Tonight's Happy Hour story will be two different topics, one realistic and one completely unrealistic. Since we are on the topic of ghosts, earlier today, I was motivated to rent out my own film studio! I then heard a situation on my favorite radio station, their studio is haunted.

Some team similar to Ghost Busters checked out the studio for a a Ghost and they caught a spooky paranormal recording of a spirit saying "I'll be waiting for you"... Boy, BYE! Anyway, the third floor of the building is vacant since it is haunted, should I check out out and see if I should open my studio there or nah? Anyway, time for the story!

Arizona is a home for Ghost Towns. Ghost Towns are not actually filled with the living dead, they became a ghost town after the Gold Rush, there were no more nuggets of gold in the river banks, so people packed their things and left. But, they are popular tourist places to see and have bomb BBQ plates.

I went to Bisbee, a Ghost Town with no service that neighbors Tombstone, Arizona. Bisbee used to be the Capital of AZ at one point! Anyway, I stayed at a haunted hotel. I stayed in 'Billy's Room'. Billy is a boy who drowned in the tub, whenever you turned on the shower, you can hear his cry. He likes to move your personal items or hide them. Also, dead spirits of prostitutes haunt the hotel, appearing in the dreams of men. Nothing really seemed out of place, but it was pretty eerie place to encounter.

I also went to another Ghost Town, Superior, Arizona. The High School is abandoned. I stayed at the High School for a night, it was very freaky. I explored the school's campus, I found a room filled with old furniture, several rooms had shattered glass, an old garden that was growing wildly, and several doors that were bolted into the walls. Creepy. There were rumors about people who have passed there, I won't lie, there were a couple of times it felt as if someone was watching me.

Now, time for nightmares. If my nightmares were real, I would be pushing out daises a long time ago. When I am really stressed, my nightmares become very vivid and gory. I am so thankful I have a boo who will almost always answer my phone calls after a nightmare, his heaving breathing helps me fall asleep. Anyways, one of the most terrifying nightmares I have ever had in my life was during the end of my Sophomore year of High School. It was about my friends and I during our senior year. The nightmare started something like this:

I was in a baby blue room getting ready to see my handsome man, my friends went to go use the restroom. I then heard crunching sounds in the stalls, I went to go check it out and I saw Marilyn Manson's head on a giant spider's body eating my friend's bones and their flesh. I jumped into the ceiling and crawled through the air vents to tell people there is human cannibalism happening on campus. You bet Spider-Manson was chasing me, he was eating the metal he passed through. Word got out and all the upperclassmen were outside on the south side of campus trying to evacuate the school. I heard shrieks and screams, I looked ahead of me and I saw my classmates heads being torn off and being paced on sticks, as Spider-Manson stabbed his body to get more faces and eyes to eat students. I ran onto a bus, students swarmed the buses, I was a bus driver, I was trying to escape, I was a crazy bus driver. I then woke up, all I remember on that day is how I told my friend's and escape plan if anything like that ever happened.

Until next Thursday, carry some salt and iron on you to throw at ghosts or Spider-Manson (Marilyn Manson is one of my biggest fears. I seriously can't look at him or listen to his music).
