We've been Ghosted!

We received quite a nice surprise yesterday morning. On our front doorstep was a little bucket of candy and an envelope. Inside the envelope was a letter and a picture of a ghost. The letter read:

You've Been Ghosted!

The Phantom Ghost has come to town,
to leave the goodies that you have found.
If you do not wish a curse to fall
You must continue this "Phantom" call.

First, post the ghost near your door so it can be seen
And leave it there until Halloween.
This will scare other visiting Phantoms away
So be sure to participate and don't delay.
Second, make 2 treats, copy 2 ghosts and 2 notes like this.
Deliver it to 2 neighbors that might have been missed.
Don't let them see you, be sneaky, no doubt
And check back later to make sure they put their ghost out.
You should act within 2 days so please be quick.
Leave goodies only at the doors where the Phantom has not hit.
Deliver it before 8:00 but when there is no light
Ring the doorbell and run and stay out of sight.
Be safe, have fun and try not to be seen, share in the spirit of
HALLOWEEN!
Needless to say the kids are so excited that we have been ghosted. When I brought Justin to school today another mother said she was ghosted too and her kids couldn't stop talking about it all day. I just went to Walgreens to get our goodies. We will deliver our treats tonight. Thought I would share this with all of you, maybe some ghosts could come to your neighborhoods.
Here is one of the treats we will be delivering.
Here is the ghost in our window.

Wow. What a cool idea. If I can get my act together, we might try this on Friday night. I will definitely do it next year too.
