" He spent so many years in first grade, they named the desk for him.
I felt the town tighten around my throat. "But as the saying goes, if you can't get justice, Mrs. Dowdel remarked, get even."
Asked for a final word on the subject, Mrs. Dowdel said: "Keep off my property. You know who you are. The next ghost you see could be you."
