I am only a flash
in the corner of your eye,
nothing but a shadow,
or a trick of the light
on the stair,
there and gone.
You can try to catch me
in a photo,
or to capture
the sound of my voice.
Many have, and most leave
disappointed.
Are you scared?
You should be,
you know.
I’m not for everyone.

Agreed, Kristen! Great job on this one, Katie. And you know it is even more mysterious that you have to look carefully at the photo to see who Ghost Girl is. Nice work!
