Let me introduce you to some ghosts

This ghost was completely invisible just a few days ago. He walked through the walls of my apartment and asked me to build him a body so people could see him dance. He is a Ghost Dancer!
This is an Awake Statue. although statues cannot move, when they are awake they can travel over the invisible landscapes that overlap our own. He also has a tiny library inside of his head which can only be visited by insects.

This is a vacant lot spirit. If someone builds something on the vacant lot that it haunts, it becomes something else.
This is a time traveler. He cannot exist in the present, but you can sometimes catch glimpses of him if you're thinking about the past or the future.
This is artie milderhoffen (not his real name) but he will respond to any name you call him when he is in dog form, which he usually is nowadays.
This is a howling ghost hound. It likes to sit by your head while you're sleeping and howl. It's howl does not emit any sound. Instead, it makes things quieter.
You can meet them all in person and communicate with them on subliminal levels tonight from 6-9 pm at Grass Hut.

  4. i love that the howl makes things quieter, and the time traveler can't exist in the present... really all of them are very clever! if someone builds something in the vacant lot, it becomes something else! ha!

  7. i had to get artie milderhoffen. I respect that you say he is in his dog form, but i kind of think he might be a wombat made of leaves. anyhow i love him and can't wait for him to arrive and join my theo prints on my wall. except for when i am at work i expect he will jump off the wall and run around the place looking for strange things to eat. like crayons and playdough and things.

  8. Thanks for adopting Artie, Megan. You were spot on about what kinds of things he likes to eat. Make sure all crayons are put away before leaving the house. Other than that, you should find him to be fairly well bahaved.
