Ghost by Jeffrey Snodgrass

"I really don't think there's much mystery in what you're saying. In fact, I don't believe a word coming out of your mouth. And why should I? Imagine, spirits. What kind of nonsense is that? Really, it's all too much."

"Look, I told you, I took a picture and there was an apparition in it. Why would I make something like that up?"

"Why wouldn't you? Really, it's all too much."

"You already said that."

"Well, it's true. What did the apparition look like?"

"A smiling man."

"And what leads you to believe that he was an apparition?"

"He's standing about 6 inches off the ground and his arms fade into darkness."

"What were you taking a picture of?"

"My wife and her cousins sitting beside a campfire and here's this curious fellow watching them. I posted the picture on the Internet, just in case you don't believe me; I can give you the URL."

"That won't be necessary."
