So is the school haunted or what? There was a boat out in the middle of the lake.

Did someone drown? Have we an accurate headcount yet?

[cygninae]

No.

I don't think so. Heard someone died years ago, though. Like, a bully left a kid out there on the lake and then he drowned, right?

[sylla]

It couldn't hurt to scour the lakebed for a corpse double check, I suppose, but if you're sure.

Oh yes that is a rumour here, isn't it. Perhaps we will hear something from the Professors. If they are on edge then it may be best to keep our wits about us.

[cygninae]

Sure as I ever am that someone didn't die.

Thorn just thinks it was someone messing around.

[sylla]

I may just keep an eye out as well. For professor unease, not the dead floating body, mind you.

[chryseis]

Maybe Gooseberry will soon have house ghosts in the great tradition of European wizarding schools.

[cygninae]

Would they haunt our camspites?

[chryseis]

I don't know! I believe at Hogwarts the ghosts haunt the entire school, but prefer their given houses.

[cygninae]

Huh.

And they can like. Talk. Right?

Never seen a ghost before.

[chryseis]

Yep! Just like people, only see through. The few I have seen tend to be flighty and had little to say, though. They're nothing to be afraid of.

[riledup]

There are, like, a BUNCH of ghosts at Hogwarts. And a poltergeist. And the ghost for my house was super scary weird. I think ghosts are mostly just weird and dumb.

[orangepip]

You've never seen a ghost?

[browbeats]

Huh. Did it just drift out there?

[cygninae]

Overnight, yeah. Or someone pushed it out I guess.

[browbeats]

My money's on the ropes untying themselves and the boat floating. It just seems like such a low key prank to play.

[cygninae]

Probably. Someone said it was like the story and everyone's hung up on that now though.

[browbeats]

To be fair, Ursula JUST told the story at the campfire last night. Maybe one of the little fish was inspired and thought it would be a good starter prank.

[gdilevi]

Yeah, it's haunted.

[cygninae]

You think so? Never seen a ghost here.

[gdilevi]

I wish it was a ghost. The boat thing is probably a prank, though. I think there's weird shit in the woods that's making the animals act up. The ravens, the deer, now the precious little honey bees.

[cygninae]

Not a ghost but still haunted?

[chryseis]

Like... normal shit weird stuff? Or scary weird stuff?

Are we talkin a bear or a murderer?

[addytives]

Animals are supposed to sense supernatural stuff more easily so that'd make sense.
Like as much as ANY OF IT makes ANY sense, but.

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

I don't see why it couldn't be.

[orangepip]

What?! Like, an empty boat? With no one in it?
