Every family is also a ghost story. Did you know? Specific moments haunt, and sometimes that haunt is welcome, and sometimes it’s not. In every family, Dad or Mom invariably do something wrong (often, much more than wrong), whether either is a “good” or “bad” person. And the ghosts of those past events stand in the shadows of the basement every time you need to get the laundry from below. History whistles in the middle of the night. It weighs enough to creak the floorboards out in the hall.
