How to See Ghosts

or surely bring them to you. This part of the book is for children who were born in the morning or around lunchtime. If you were born at midnight, some say just at twilight, you were probably born with the gift of being able to see ghosts and other spirits and don't have to be told how.

Of course all cats, dogs, horses and roosters can see ghosts, but lots of people cannot see ghosts, even though they can usually hear them. Lots of people don't believe in ghosts because they say they never saw one.

So anyone who wants to see a ghost is how. If you really mean it, if you really want to see a ghost, go walk around a grave 12 times backward and the ghost will rise and ask you what you want.

Some people say that just walking around the grave will raise the ghost and some say you have to do it backward 12 times. Or if you want to summon someone particular ghost, go to his grave at night and call him by name. He will rise and tell you what you want to know. Some ghost can be summoned by music. If you sing or play some piece of music or

some special musical instrument that someone loved especially during life, the ghost will come to see you. Some people say that you can raise a ghost by whistling. You might, and you might not. It has happened.

Once a man was walking along a road at night whistling some too, and a ghost fell into step residing whistling the same tune. You can call back some loved ghost by too much grief and weeping.
