Plus Size Victorian Ghost Men's Costume

The Gentleman That Wasn't There

The first time our knocker rapped three times at twilight, we ran to the door, thinking that a late package had just been delivered. When we looked out the window, there was no sign of life at all. It could have been the wind, so we shrugged it off. A couple of nights later, we heard the knocker again as we were lounging in the living room, right next to the front door. These three raps weren't accompanied by a gust of wind, or a visitor for that matter. The mystery may have gone on for years on end if not for the storm three days later. It was pouring out with just a street light illuminating the street. We were upstairs when the three knocks happened once more and when we peered out the front window, not expecting to see anyone, we saw a shimmery outline in the rain. It wore a top hat and carried a dapper cane as it slowly walked away from our front porch. The figure walked a few paces, then, as if sensing our shocked stare it turned and tipped its hat with a little bow.
