Three Ghosts On Hallow's Eve

I was visited by three ghosts Each night until All Saints Day Unlike Scrooge I asked for the ghosts to visit the ghosts were known to me in life The veil is thin on Halloween or the Eve of the Hallow (Holy) The first ghost was that of a young man and son He was lost to my world when he was only 24 died in a car crash His ghost visited the day before Hallow Eve read me a confessional letter that he will prove his love to me I did not know him because he as been dead for 13 years But he said that he died on the 24th and his funeral was on the 31 The second ghost was that of an old women and friend I remember her because she died less than two months She made an appearance on Halloween She was having trouble adjusting to death naked and disoriented She was looking for her clothes and jewelry I told her that we thought that she was dead and that she will take on new clothing The third ghost was that of a father figure he played one of his favorite singers who is also dead Frank Sinatra “The summer wind came blow-in' in like painted kites, those days and nights. From across the sea they went fly-in' by The Autumn winds and the winter winds, they come and gone. And still the days, those lone-ly days. They go on and on” I was listening to New Age music at work on All Saints Day but some how I heard the song in the background for 15 minutes Unlike Scrooge I asked for the ghosts to visit the ghosts were known to me in life They are not ghosts to me because I miss and love them but “they go on and on”
