Ghost Hiker

I used to be alive and happy. Then Sasquatch threw me into a canyon, and I died.

About Me

Well, back when I was alive, I enjoyed hiking, camping, fishing, rock climbing and pretty much anything in the outdoors. I was a carefree, happy-go-lucky young man with a zest for life and the world at my feet. Unfortunately while hiking in the woods one beautiful Fall day, Sasquatch came along, picked me up an threw me into a deep canyon. This caused me to die and turned me into a ghost. A hiker ghost. Now my days are spent floating around the woods moaning and looking scary. I have to wear these same stupid clothes and carry this same backpack - which I might add is pretty heavy - for the rest of eternity. It's weird, when you're a ghost, you actually have a natural urge inside you to scare people. I can't explain it, all I know is that I'm driven to find someone or something to scare. Funny huh? Of course, here in the deep woods, I hardly ever see any people. The only thing for me to scare out here are the animals. So far I've scared a squirrel who was trying to crack open an acorn with a little rock. He ran off real fast when he saw how scary and creepy I looked.

My Interests

I guess I'm most interested in being alive again. But I know that will never happen. Sigh.

I'd like to meet:

When I was alive, I always wanted to meet Bono. You know, the lead singer of U2? But as a ghost, as I've discovered, you only get to meet other creepy netherbeings. Did I mention that being a ghost is stupid and lame?

Movies:

Well, back before Sasquatch killed me by throwing me into a canyon, my favorite movie was this film from the early 80's called Dark Night of the Scarecrow. It's about this mentally challenged guy named Bubba who lived with this family in Georgia or Alabama or somewhere. The townsfolk didn't like Bubba because he was mentally challenged and they thought he would be dangerous to children or something, so this mailman and some other guys from town decided to kill him. Bubba knew they were coming to kill him, so he diguised himself as a scarecrow and stood in a cornfield...do you remember this movie?...Anyway, this didn't fool the men and they shot up the scarecrow, killing Bubba. The rest of the movie is basically the ghost of Bubba coming back and getting revenge on the guys that killed him. This one guy gets trapped in a silo and Bubba drops a pile of harvested corn on top of him. It was cool.

My shirt blows.

You probably can't see it too well, seeing as how I'm a ghost and all, but take my word for it. My shirt blows. And the worst thing is, I actually bought it for myself with money that I earned cutting...

I miss urinating/taking a dump.

That's right. Ghosts don't urinate or take dumps. Can you believe that? Anyway, I miss both very much. This morning in particular, I was really craving for the simple human act of being able to sit do...

Walked through a tree this morning.

What a let down. I thought it was going to be cool...but it wasn't. So I walked through an oak tree. Now what? I walked in one side, and I walked out the other. It was all dark in the middle. Believe ...
