“It’s Like an Octopus” says grandmother of a Ghostly Groper

We’ve come across some pretty, er, frisky ghosts lately. Must be something in the ghost water…at any rate, here’s a story out of England. Enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing the Google image search for an appropriately related picture.

Creating this brought me more joy than I could ever express

A British grandmother claimed that she cannot sleep at night as she is plagued by a groping, octopus-like ghost that is haunting her apartment.

Doris Birch, 73, said the ghost began haunting her home in Herne Bay, on England’s southeastern coast, four months ago.

“It’s like an octopus,” she told local newspaper the Herne Bay Times. “It started four months ago. I was lying in bed when I felt this creepy pair of hands. I kicked frantically, and it went away. Next time it came, I hurled the duvet on to the floor.”

She added, “But the ghost keeps coming back. I’ve tried sleeping without the duvet. But it started shaking my mattress. I even threw the mattress off the bed and bought a new one, but it has made no difference.”

I actually don’t have any judgment one way or the other about the story…I did this all for the picture. No lie. No shame.
