“I’m haunted by the ghost of an adolescent girl,” I finally revealed one of my deepest, darkest secrets to my best friend, Pete, over the phone one day. “I've never told anyone this because they'll think I'm crazy.”

"She's twelve years-old," I told Pete. "Never says a word. She's been following me for about ten years. Sometimes standing at the doorway, sometimes at the foot of the bed."
