Hunting 101, Thursday
When everyone arrived for class, they'd find Sam leaning against a desk with a pile of newspapers next to him. "Hey guys, sorry about last week. I hope the movie was at least a little entertaining for you," he said. "Today, we're actually going to talk about ghosts instead of just watching something about them."
"Now, before anyone gets too up in arms at me, I want to make sure to say that not all ghosts are bad. Typically, ghosts exist for one of two reasons. First, there are people who choose not to cross over into the afterlife because they have unfinished business they left behind when they died. Kids, grandkids, loves that got away - these are all reasons for a spirit to stick around, and they can be totally harmless. They can even be a reassuring presence for those who are still alive, to know that their loved ones are still around keeping an eye on them.
"Unfortunately, the second reason ghosts exist is because the person died violently. These spirits tend to stick around because they can't cross over; some of them are trapped replaying the moment of their death, while some can't rest until they've sought out revenge on whoever killed them. Either way, if someone is being haunted, you can often find out about it in the news," Sam said, picking up one of the newspapers. "You're not going to find articles explicitly saying, 'Hey, there's a ghost here in town' but in a lot of cases, unexplainable crimes are the work of ghosts, especially if the victims seem like they had it coming. Today, I want you to see if you can find anything legitimately strange in any of these papers. Also, I'm curious - if you could stick around as a ghost after you died, would you want to? What would you want to do if you could?"
