Craigslist Missed Connections are always weird, but here's one we've never seen before: ghost hunter. There doesn't seem to be a particular ghost in mind, making it more of a personals ad than a missed connection, but maybe the connection was missed in a psychic sense. The listed requirements:
must be at least 200 years old (and on that, I'm not wavering). Must enjoy being stared at in amazement. Must have a translucent form. Must be male, and have a tragic past.
But, like a job at the end of the year, where it gets really good is bonus time:
Bonuses: parasol, interest in necrophilia (because if you're hot, I'm opening your coffin and propping your dead form up with a broom.)
Is the parasol meant to help keep the ghost's lady friend ghostly white? And aren't ghosts essentially formless—translucent, even? Can they really be propped up? The logistics confound.
We're intrigued, Hopefully Haunted. Intrigued and disturbed.
