Something Strange in the Neighbourhood

Bunch has been noticing something strange happening in the neighbourhood:

Ghosts showing up on doorsteps!!

It's a new tradition, called "Ghosting" or "Boo'ing."

Wanna be a part of this?

It's Easy!!

Here's how:

You need:

two paper bags filled with treats,
two pictures of ghosts

and,

directions to make two similar treat bags and two similar pictures of ghosts, along with directions to hang the ghost picture up in the window to indicate you have already been "ghosted"

The idea is to drop the bags on the doorsteps of two unsuspecting neighbours after dark. (Kids should bring and adult with them.) Ring the doorbell and run away before they come to answer. Then, each neighbour does the same to two other neighbours.

I Got Ghosted allows you to track your ghosting.

Diana's Legacy says "What a fabulous way to be neighbourly...It's such a great thing to drive around the neghbourhood and see the kindness spread."

Alpha Mom says "I love this tradition so much I wanted to share it with you."

Southern Living has a discussion forum on "Boo'ing."

You can include a poem in your package. Either write your own or find one on one of the websites above.

This one goes to the tune of "Black Magic Woman" by Santana.

You've got a ghost on your doorstep
You've got a ghost on your doorstep
You've got a ghost on your doorstep
Dropped off by me
And you're gonna find out how much fun this
Ghost on the doorstep's gonna be

Don't turn your back on me neighbour
Don't turn your back on me neighbour
Don't turn your back on me neighbour
Please go along with my tricks
Because this ghost is gonna visit two more neighbours
your picks!!
