Fanny Mail: A Haunted House Etiquette Question


Kiddies, today I received a letter from Emily Hall of Charleston, South Carolina. Emily writes: "Dear Grandmother Winsome, I am writing to inquire, if one resides in a haunted house, how much attention should one pay to the ghosts? Is it considered poor manners to ignore them altogether? I don't want to be thought of as rude, but I just find their endless moaning and chain-rattling to be rather tiresome."

What a thoughtful question, Emily. While I appreciate that you don't wish to be thought of as rude, you should think of the ghosts as uninvited guests. And as such, it is they who are in fact being rude. If you snub them, they may soon take the hint and make a silent exit.
