At twelve o’clock that
night, Mr. Stalwart returned to the house to find out more details from Ms.
Wolf about her diabolical murder. So he
performed the same procedure he had the night before, and he stealthily entered
the blue mansion. And as he walks up
the steps, the gentle and soft voice says to him, “Thank-you, for returning to
my cause!” Then Mr. Stalwart sits in
the chair he left in front of the closed bedroom door, for he curiously desires
to learn more about Ms. Wolf’s involvement in occultism, for his obsession to
know became his ultimate motive and fantasy.
Thus asks Ms. Wolf, “Did you
confirm the bank note withdrawal?”
And Earnest answers, “ The
bank manager said to me that he would keep the withdrawal note and return it to
you, so I left the premises presuming that it was actually withdrawn.”
Ms. Wolf replies, “I do not
know how the bank manager will make that return possible.”
Lastly Earnest injects, “
Will you continue filling me in from where you ended last night?”
“Certainly young gentleman,”
says Ms. Wolf.
“I had the money packed up
by the bank manager into three separate suitcases, with each suitcase
containing six thousand six hundred sixty one hundred dollar bills,” says Ms.
Wolf.
“And I hid each suitcase in
three different locations. Now I am
going to make you a lucrative offer, that is, if you would willingly help me to
regain my salvation from the devil. For
I will give you all my wealth for liberating me from eternal damnation. For there are three steps that you must
complete for me before I can regain my salvation. And after you have completed each step successfully, I will tell
you where you can find each of the suitcases containing six hundred sixty-six
thousand dollars. But I want you to
earnestly consider what I have asked you to do for me, for there is no turning
back for me or you. Do you willingly
and boldly swear upon your honor,” says Ms Wolf, “to help me regain my
salvation from the devil and his demons?”
Moreover, Earnest became
restless in his chair outside the bedroom door, as he mentally considered the
proposition that was just offered to him by the ghost of the rich witch. He knew that he might be risking his life,
and worst of all his soul, if he became involved in the witch’s dispute and
confrontation with Satan and his demons.
And he carefully thought about the money that was offered to him, for it
would have no value at all, if he lost his life or his soul. In spite of this, Earnest enthusiastically
and boldly decided to become a willing participant in Ms. Wolf’s plight from
the devil and his cohorts bondage of damnation.
Wherefore, Earnest responds,
“I do not swear, but I will risk my soul and my life to help you regain your
salvation from the devil, and this I do affirm Ms Wolf.”
Therefore, Ms. Wolf retorts,
“Thank you, kind and noble sir! All the
money that you are about to receive can never equal your heroic effort in
saving my soul from damnation. Now if
you have the nerve and the courage to encounter me face to face, for it is
absolutely necessary for you to see me as I am now in this ghastly and ghostly
appearance. For my salvation depends on
you bravely looking at me and dealing with me visually and personally. I now ask you to gallantly turn the knob and
to open the bedroom door, and I will come out of the closet and present myself
to you. But you must now agree with me
to do so, for I am now waiting for your courageous corroboration.”
Then Earnest rises from his
seat, and his hand reaches for the door knob.
He quickly grabs the door knob, and as he begins to turn the knob very
slowly. He suddenly stops turning the
door knob however on the bed room door, fearing and dreading the dismal figure
lurking behind the bedroom door.

About the Book
In these ghost tales, I intentionally show the ruthlessness and greediness of the world as I attempt to reveal the corrupt nature and treachery of some evil people who seek in the world their own survival and prosperity at the expense of others. I wisely use the word concepts of irony, superstition, name connotation, symbolism, sorcery, assumption, ignorance, deception, greed, foolishness, chance, and psychological persuasion to deliver the unpredictable gist of the ghost stories’ themes to you. Moreover, the themes in my ghost tales are about foolish and wicked people who tend to create falsehoods and fantasies from their own imaginations for the purpose of psychologically fooling or impressing others with their falsely conceived delusions of self grandeur and intellectuality. But the worst part of their premeditated falsehoods and fantasies is that they consciously and foolishly believe in it, or in them themselves. So they ironically fall for the very falsehoods and fantasies that they have wisely concocted to deceive or to impress others about their imagined delusions of grandeur and intellectuality. And this is the main reason why I have written my ghost stories portraying the world that deliberately takes advantage of the ignorant-and idiots, so they can survive and prosper in human society at the expense of the ignorant, and idiots. But sometimes serendipity or providence is on the side of the ignorant, and some idiots, to help them to unknowingly escape their evil schemes, even though some wise and evil fools deceitfully seek their humiliation and downfall in the world thinking there is no help for the ignorant, and idiots, of the world.
About the Author
He is a graduate of Saint Paul’s College in Lawrenceville, Virginia. Furthermore, he majored in history, but he also focused on English and political science as the intellectual complements to his major. And after he graduated from college in 1978, he became interested in psychology, parapsychology, and religions, so he independently studied them on his own to broaden his mind and his knowledge about them and their origins in the world. For he coveted to make an effort to comprehend and to define the supernatural world of the unknown, the unexplained, and all the people who believe and practice these superstitions and false supernatural dogmas. Therefore, he writes his ghost stories to show these concepts in his writings, so he cleverly uses psychology, parapsychology, superstition, sorcery, symbolism, and literary techniques to reveal the clandestine evil mentalities and facades of these evil characters in their erroneous attempt to deceive others who are not aware of their evil or frolicsome deeds in his ghost tales.
