We're starting to enter the dead season at the Ghost Hotel, @Tina Infinity. However, it's a great time to become a Junior Ranger on our Ghost Forest Corps! Care and maintenance of the Spirit Trails and haunted restrooms. Excellent night vision preferred.

Now that the Phantasm Convention is over, @YOung Flim, is there a way for students to gain eternal life experience through internships or part-time jobs at the Ghost Hotel?

I'd like to apologize to the student body for the mess in the P.O.T.T. building. A few of us in town for the Phantasm Convention are Psyhigh grads, and after a long night of sampling the molasses, treacle, and honey at your local artisan embalmer's shop we thought we'd sneak onto campus and have a look around. Boy you've got a lot more security in place than when we went here, I'll tell you that! We set off some alarms and got trapped in an infinity room and we panicked and things got a little messy. You know how we get when we get spooked! Anyway, we slipped away with the first rays of sunlight, so didn't get a chance to properly clean up. Just some good old fashioned youthful hijinks! Kind of like when Jeremy stole Black Phillip, the Great He-Goat, and put him in the dean's office! Who knows what they were feeding that goat, but Jeremy got clean up duty and it took him a week to get the stink out. Boy we sure had some good times here at ol' Psyhigh yes we did.

Friendly warning to anyone who's planning on going to the Prophecy, Omens, and Time-Travel building. Some sticky substance has started seeping through the third level floor to the second level ceiling, and walking through either will get you rather stuck. The stairwell is in an equally sticky situation. Several students are trapped in the goop. @Janitor Pete and the others are already appealing to the Spongiform Unimind as to how to properly clean up the mess, but it'll probably be a while til it's all cleared up. No one's really sure what happened yet -- no one's escaped the building as of right now -- but if you believe the rumors, a séance in the Memory Greenhouse turned violent. The person I talked to claimed that it's a combination of ectoplasm, cytoplasm, molasses, and pure spite that's slowly spreading through the building. But that doesn't even make sense. Where did the molasses come from?

Here's the info on the keynote speaker at the Phantasm Convention, @Elizabeth Webb:

ABOUT ABIGAIL BOUCHER
Abigail Boucher, the original "mad librarian," is perhaps the most famous ghost librarian working in the business today. Originally driven mad by patrons misshelving books, Abigail perished of desperation in the stacks of her beloved library (quiet desperation being the second-most common cause of death for librarians in the early 20th century).

She continued to haunt the library for decades, hurling books at patrons and eventually knocking over entire banks of shelves. Her home library was eventually dismantled brick by brick, but then, in a misguided attempt at fundraising, these bricks were distributed and used as cornerstones for new libraries. This resulted in hauntings coast to coast, as the spirit of Abigail Boucher was holographically distributed into every library that used her bricks.

Today there's an Abigail Boucher in lots of towns, but we've got the closest to the original that's left. She's more batty than ever, but always puts on a great show. Don't miss her presentation on the final night of the convention, midnight in the Haunted Ballroom.

I talked to a dead construction worker of a local library today. The library's bricks are rumored to pop out at its enemies and hit them in anger at being overstuffed with books. He was very critical of the library's attitude at its offerstuffedness.

Boooooooooo! I'm in town for the Phantasm Convention and you know how we ghosts get when're at these things! Woooooooo hoooooo! We do like to cut loose. (But that stuff they say about us peeing all over the floor is NOT true. It's just ectoplasm.)

Anyway, I had *such* a good time I got lost and couldn't find my way back to the Ghost Hotel. I spent all night haunting the streets of your cute little town till I finally found the Ghost Hostel. Not the Ghost HOTEL mind you -- the Ghost HOSTEL. There was a group of German and Italian ghosts staying there who had basically taken over the place. They were very friendly. We've friended each other on Spookbook.

The Ghost Hotel is for the use of itinerant, migrant, and traveling ghosts, @gavcrowleys. Ghosts stay here on holiday, for business, or just passing through. Some non-ghost entities (or "people" if you will) are able to see the hotel and inadvertently enter the hotel and book rooms. This is rarely a pleasant experience for any of the parties involved.

Because of their hermetic nature, ghosts are awkward in public situations. Generally spending so much time alone, they lack the requisite social skills surrounding privacy and appropriate behavior that non-ghosts take for granted. While a ghost books a particular room at the Ghost Hotel, they may spend little or no time in it, and instead spend their time wandering the halls and moaning, entering other rooms and rearranging furniture, or screaming while passing between the walls.

@YOung Flim is this a hotel BY ghosts, FOR the people, or is it by ghosts, for ghosts? .. or.. or by people, for ghosts? ... wait- i think i misread..

Also, what are the chances there's a demon there disguising itself as a ghost? What do you do then? Are there ghost evacuations? How many possessions happen each year? ....i don't know why i'm asking these questions, either. why am i so suddenly interested in ghost culture? uh.... i'll be on my way now.

As members of the Ghost Union, all ghosts are required to attend one convention a year for personal development. This allows them to maintain their ghost benefits, like Universal Ghost Care, ghost scale wage for all apparitions, and collective bargaining rights against the Forces of Nothingness (FoN).

Membership in the Ghost Union also offers great discounts on coach airfare on virtually all airlines, as part of the Aviation Poltergeist Treaty of 1978.
