Good going, Festus - I'll be working on one. I'm glad you gave us a fair amount of turnaround time. Puma

Thanks, Festus, dab nad it, I found it. I'm a learning, slow like, though. Unfortunately, my short story, "Haunted Range", is 8,500 words, a wee bit too long, darn it.

Warning to all law-abidin' citizens!

The dreaded Horror Forum Gang is a-ridin' into town, led by none other than that pesky low-down varmint, "Mad Dog" Haggis!

I started to say, "sure, if they're the ghosts of aliens." Then I thought some more on this. Seems to me that there could indeed be several ways to work aliens into ghost stories, from the perceptions of cowboys thinking the aliens are ghosts to them being actual ghosts themselves. The more I ponder, the more ways I can think of to work the aliens into ghost stories!

Sure, Jaycinth, give it a whirl! Thanks for bringing this up!

Oh, we're all scared too, puts us in the right frame of mind for ghost stories, eh?

Of course, non scary ghost stories are allowed. The tea story that was posted wasn't scary - it was cute. Puma
