S T A Y - O U T !

I don't know what day it is anymore. I've been down here for so long that it seems like forever. Maybe it's only been a few days or maybe it's been fifty years. This wasn't how I expected to spend my afterlife but I've been down here in the basement for as long as I've been dead.

My mission? To keep everyone else away from the monsters. 

How do I accomplish this goal? Scaring the shit out of the residents.

So that's why I'm sitting here in the dark right now. I'm waiting for someone to stupidly wander down here so that I can make them pee their pants and run right back up to where they came from.

I hear the door creak open. It's one of the residents and they're talking loudly to someone else. The other person leaves and I hear their footsteps coming down the stairs. The light goes on but I quickly use my powers to turn it off again. It doesn't deter the resident from coming down the stairs with their flashlight in hand.

"Get out!" I growl from the darkness.

That's the first shot fired. It's a warning shot. I've got a lot more tricks up my sleeve. There's no way I'm going to let this person end up dead. I feel like it's my sworn duty to protect these people from what lurks in the dark down here. I'm not a bad ghost, just misunderstood. 

Sometimes it gets lonely. Sometimes I really want to go upstairs and talk to someone but I know that the moment I leave the basement someone will stupidly wander down there and get killed. No way that's going to happen. Not on my watch.

Bonnie McLafferty | 28 | Dead | FC: Felicia Day | TAKEN

Background: Bonnie McLafferty fears nothing and no one. She was born and raised in Maine and grew up hearing the legends of the Fantome Inn. When she was in her early twenties she joined a group of ghost hunters and toured the nation. They even got a television program called Ghost Grunts. It was the highlight of Bonnie’s life but eventually the show was cancelled and the group disbanded shortly after. Bonnie never stopped going around the country in search of evidence to prove that ghosts exist. She returned to her home state, determined to check out the rumors of the Fantome Inn. And she did.

However, when she did check into the Inn she found a bunch of dreary residents and a very paranoid man as the owner. At first she thought it wasn’t as haunted as she thought it was but then the owner bailed and the doors were shut behind her. Wisely, she hid herself away from the initial panic. Unfortunately, she did so by shutting herself in the basement. Before the night was through she was dead, gutted and face down on the concrete. Her ghost now guards the basement, and she uses extreme scare tactics to keep the residents away from the extremely dangerous monsters that live within.
