If you watch any of the TV shows that involve dramatic reenactments of hauntings, you will quickly learn that there are certain types of people that ghosts love to haunt and torture. Those people are in at least one of these categories:

• Pregnant women
• Babies
• Pubescent children (kids especially from ages 11 to 13ish are highly correlated with noisy ghosts/poltergeists)
• People who are too strapped for cash to move

Your challenge is to write a story about a haunting that involves a family with either a soon-to-be/newly born baby or a middle school age child. This can be a casefile that an X-Files character is investigating or it can be a more personal situation with the ghost in their own home. The family does not have to be financially unable to move, but of course they can be.

Optional additional challenge element: …and this particular haunting is chronicled on one of those aforementioned hauntings-type TV shows :)
