Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post.  👻

Halloween is getting closer and closer! 🎃

A while back, I decided to turn “Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater” into a spooky song.

If you want to know why, check out my post about it here. 🧛🏻‍♂️

Have you ever seen the 2012 film ParaNorman? I just watched it for the first time, and I LOVED it! 🧡

This has to be my FAVORITE studio Laika film so far!

I thought it was so fun that the film had ghosts in it! 🪦

I found it very interesting that the town revolved around tales of an alleged witch. 🧹

In addition to the Halloween theme, I really liked that the film addressed bullying and communicated an important message: Kindness is the best choice. ❤️

At the end of the film, I heard a song that I was unfamiliar with: “Little Ghost” by The White Stripes.

Lyrics:

Little ghost, little ghost, one I’m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I’m the only one that sees you and I can’t do much to please you
And it’s not yet time to meet the Lord above

The first moment that I met her, I did not expect a spectre
When I shook her hand, I really shook a glove
She looked into me so sweetly, and we left the room discreetly
No one else could know the secret of our love

Little ghost, little ghost, one I’m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I’m the only one that sees you, and I can’t do much to please you
And it’s not yet time to meet the Lord above

Every morning I awoke and I see my little ghost
Wonderin’ if it’s really her that’s lying there
I lean to touch her, and I whisper, but not brave enough to kiss her
When I held her, I was really holding air

Little ghost, little ghost, one I’m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I’m the only one that sees you, and I can’t do much to please you
And it’s not yet time to meet the Lord above

Though I try my best to keep it, there really was no secret
Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall
No one else could see this apparition
But because of my condition
I fell in love with a little ghost, and that was all

Little ghost, little ghost, one I’m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I’m the only one that sees you, and I can’t do much to please you
And it’s not yet time to meet the Lord above

No, it’s not yet time to meet the Lord above

This is a really fun and clever song! 🦇

When was the first time you heard it?

If you have seen ParaNorman, what did you think of it?

May you greet the world with kindness today! 💙

Wishing you well! 💜
