benevolent ghosts. for instance,
casper the friendly ghost. also perhaps such
mythical creatures as the
banshee and others who warn of coming
disaster, or the ghosts who come into my room at night and
do my laundry and leave me a tall, cold glass of
spicy hot v8 and a full pack of
cigarettes.
i may have made that last one up, but
i'm not telling you.
