Struggling to edit and write, and starting to read.

"Do you believe in ghosts?"

The question from Rarity is sudden, and while Twilight may not believe in them, she's curious enough to listen. It must just be a story, after all.


Edited from an entry into the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting contest "Seer's Spookfest #2". We were given no prompt, other than writing a horror story.

Special thanks to my friend Seer for hosting the contest, as well as all of those that gave feedback during it.

Nice short story.

I also love the way it's writen. I like the depth of your characters. I wouldn't mind a sequel.

Anyway, have a like.

A proper horror theme with good writing that will force me to never look at the mirror when I use the toilet. This is fun!

Spooktacular! Nicely done.

Feels like whatever that entity is, it's memetic in some way, or at least has its choice of targets influenced by such, given that it just so happened to visit right after Twilight was told about the encounter with it.

Good spooky.

A good execution of a classic format - nice one having Twi keep her cool through it : ).

You want to know the surest proof that ghosts aren't real?

Nobody has ever turned one into a weapon.

Think of anything real, chemical, biological, kinetic, thermal, etc. All of them have entire categories of weapons derived from them. If anything is real, humans will turn it into a weapon for killing each other.

There is no ghost bomb, hence, (for better or worce) there are no ghosts.

The implication of that litmus test is, frankly, more horrifying than any ghost story could be.

deep night here... Perfect time to read Flashgen's fresh story!

I loved the story, simply becaude I can relate to it, in a strange and different way.I have hypochondria and panic attacks, and I felt almost like Twilight:she encounters the"ghost"after Rarity told her about it, and she has some sort of "panic attack"(panic attack symptoms can be:choking, numbness and feeling cold-at least in my case).So I found it fascinating that you can relate in a personal way to stories like these...

Great story! I loved all three bits of the fic: Rarity and Twilight hanging out, Rarity's story, and Twilight's encounter. I especially appreciated that Twilight tried to talk to the ghost and learn about it.

Not too spoopy for me. As a fan of ghost stories, I like this.

I enjoyed this one. I don't know nor do I really care who believes in ghosts but from my encounters and one that a friend told me about telling them, firmly, to stop or go away works for the time being. I wonder had Twilight tried that like Rarity, would it have worked? Always the analytical one. I love that a being of magic puts so much faith into science.

Greetings. Your reading has been completed and can be found below. I hope you enjoy. Happy Nightmare Night!

good and kinda spooky story!:twilightsmile:

Ooooh. Spoopy.

Like most good spoop fics, the pacing is good, and the tension builds slowly. Most importantly, the mystery still remains.
