There's a family down the street from us. They have a boy my age and a girl a year younger than my sister. The boy and I used to be close friends when we were younger but we drifted apart, now talking when we see each other but nothing more. My sister, and his sister, though, are best friends. We'll call my sister C and her friend T.
Every year, the family has a 'block' party. They invite the whole street and friends of T and J (the boy) over. It's the Sunday before labor day and, after partying for a while, everyone goes to the local golf course that's only a street away and watch the end of summer fireworks. I normally dread going because I hate parties but I do get to hang out with one of my friends who live next door. My sister, on the other hand, loves it.
This past year, while I was with my friend, my sister, T and a new friend, who had just moved in a few houses down from T, and a whole year younger than T, all went up to T's room for a fashion show. T had her mom's phone to take pictures and have music and such. It's still early, bright, we had only been there for a while. C and T and their new friend try on a few outfits, having fun dancing to the songs and taking pictures when T suddenly has to go to the bathroom. She closes the music app, turns the phone off and places it down her bed, standing up and leaving to go to the bathroom, leaving C and L (new friend) alone. Since L was new, and my sister, who is the opposite of me and can talk to a stranger her age without worrying and being friends with over half the girls in her grade, decides to start talking to L. They talk for a bit.
Then, out of nowhere, the Ghostbusters theme starts playing. They both jump a mile into the air and turn to T's bed. The phone is on and playing Ghostbusters. While C and L are looking at it like it's going to blow up, T comes back in and hears the music playing. She asks how they got it because, first off, her mom didn't have the Ghostbusters theme song on her phone and second, she had a pin to get in that only her family knew. C and L tell her what happens and she freaks out, throwing the phone back on the bed. She had picked it up to turn off the music.
They all ran downstairs and tell T's mom, but she doesn't believe them and tells them to go play. They agree, but don't go back upstairs and leave the house, heading into the backyard to play, trying to shake it off.
Someone started that music and it wasn't anyone at the party. There was no way for anyone to start the music unless it was C or L and they had no idea how to get into T's mom's phone let alone pull up a song. But someone did and I have a feeling that it was a ghost. One who may or may not want to leave earth.
