Please Let It Be Casper

If I have a ghost, please let it be Casper.
I want a friendly one who does not want to scare me.
Life is scary enough without the added burden of surprise.
Fast mice in the kitchen scare me.
Loud noises when something is dropped scare me.
A car alarm that goes on for a long time scares me.
I do not need any more fright in my life.
So, if you are a ghost, please find a new place.
Or show yourself as Casper, the cartoon ghost.
And do whatever you can to not show yourself.
Because I am not ready.
