Oh, hello spooky living person. Let me introduce myself, my name is Ethan Alby, and I'm just a simple, ordinary ghost. This here is my family: my dad, my mom, my sis, and my best friend, my dog, Mini Ricky. I like playing with new toys just like you, but I sometimes get too excited and they break...SORRY! The living people scare me at times. Every now and then, they watch the moving picture window they call "TEEVEE." Scary things show up inside, like monsters, clowns, aliens, and the occasional monster-clown-alien. On the odd occasion the living even dress scary, eat candy, and celebrate. It gives me the heebie-jeebies!
