A Hair-Raising Experience

My family and I are at a landmark house in Gettysburg doing a ghost tour.

Guide: “Okay, so we are all aware, the ghosts do love to play with long hair, so ladies, unless you want some spectral attention, you may want to put your hair up in a ponytail. Also, it should be noted that they particularly love curly hair, and often those with curly hair report the most activity.”

At that moment, all eyes on the tour group turn to twelve-year-old me as I have very long hair and am the only one on the tour with curly hair.

Me: “Mom give me a ponytail holder. Now!”

Thankfully, I did not have anyone play with my hair.
