Marblehead, MA —
By all accounts, ghost Daniel Cordova ought to be more than satisfied with his after-life. He holds a prestigious position haunting a large, stately manor, with a bountiful supply of expensive china to throw. When Daniel slams doors, people take notice. And yet, something is missing.
“I just have a feeling there’s more to the wraith realm than all these fancy trappings,” says Daniel, as he fidgets with his newest, trendy toy, a high-tech chain that can be rattled at forty different frequencies.
“Last month, I upped my vision game with a pair of shade shades, the really cool ones made by Polter Guys— all the younger phantoms are wearing them. Except of course I had to get mine with extra-thick, bi-focal prescription lenses. But even that hasn’t lifted my spirits.”
Daniel‘s wife, Anna, who recently joined him in the after-life, chimes in, “I don’t know what I’m going to do with him anymore. He’s eternally moping. I even tried to make plans to bring a little death back into our relationship by getting spooky in the master bedroom together, but,” she says, fixing her ashamed husband with an icy stare, “Daniel ghosted me.”
