Well, I died in July, over the Fourth of July weekend in 2011. So it is going on one year of being dead. And I already mentioned that I drowned up at the lake my family used to go to. Do ghosts celebrate the day they die? Does it become like your birthday? "Oh, my Deathday is July 4th, 2011, just in case you were wondering. And if you want to give me a present, you can teach me how to touch things better." Do ghosts honestly say stuff like that? I wouldn't know, I've only been around a couple of other ghosts since I bit it. (More on the night I died later if you guys really want to know!)
Anyways, after I died, for the longest time I was stuck. The first few weeks, all I did was wander along the beach that I used to play on as a child. The same beach that I left that night, and never returned too. Alive, anyways... But after about a month of haunting the beachy area of Rose Lake, I spotted a familiar face.
When I was younger, I had a very dear friend of mine die at that very lake. It was similar to my death, only he had fallen off of his parent's speed boat and hadn't been wearing a life jacket and drowned (I had drowned when I was on a swim). He had been 14 at the time, but he had never been a strong swimmer, so he drowned before they could circle back and grab him. His name was Kayden. When I spotted my old friend, looking the exact same way I had seen him before he died, several years earlier, it was pretty obvious he was a ghost. Like me. But he had much more experience with the torments of being a ghost, so he was more than happy to teach me.
The first thing that I learned was how to travel. If you focus on a person or place enough, you can appear there. Which was how I got off the beach and back to the home I had been living in. It is also how I keep an eye on my family as well. That was the easy part... The hard parts, I am still learning, like solidifying myself so that I can touch things. Touching the living is possible, or so I've heard, but its incredibly difficult. So I'm still learning. Kayden is still around, but I don't get to see him much. He went off to see the world and learn more ghostly tricks from others that he meets. And although I could follow him, I would feel like I was intruding... Besides, he is a teenage boy still, and their company can become quite tiring after awhile.
So, I hope I have answered your questions, and if you have any more, please contact me! Ta Ta for now!
