(2) You greet the living by shrieking, "Boo, y'all." (3) Those fancy English ghosts may come riding up on the front lawn in a black hearse driven by headless grooms, but you'll just stick to sputtering onto the scene on a 1972 John Deere tractor. (4) During "spirit writing" sessions with mediums, you're often forced to have them draw pictures instead. (5) Your rattling chains continue to get caught on the screen door of the doublewide trailer you haunt. (6) All of the ghosts and revenants in your immediate vicinity are your first or second cousins (7) Your favorite spots to manifest are, in order: monster truck rallies, gun conventions, and the "Jerry Springer Show." (8) You COULD go out and haunt that big mansion down the street, but you'd rather just stay home and watch fishing shows on the TV. (9) Your shroud? A nylon Confederate flag. (10) You're suspicious of poltergeist because their name don't sound "American." from: http://www.amalgamatedspooks.com/woolrich.htm mjw
