How to Make Friends with a Ghost

This helpful guidebook is useful for anyone looking to create a lifelong (and beyond) friendship with a ghost! Tips include:

  1. Never put your hand through a ghost (it can cause a serious tummy ache).
  2. Feed your ghost with treats like moldy toast and pickled boogers.
