On Halloween night your main character has unexpectedly found him or herself returning to a place that's meaningful to a lost loved one. It doesn't have to be the home where they lived or the scene of their death, but a meaningful place to the deceased. They've dragged at least one companion along for the [mis]adventure. Tell us what happens!
For this challenge, it's Halloween night - of any year - and your task is to pick a location, a focal character, a companion, and a ghost to craft your story. Although the As are mostly meant to go together, and the Bs etc. you can of course mix and match if you'd like: for example, your location could be a California Mulder family vacation spot and maybe you want Dana and Monica to see Samantha there...really, whatever strikes your muse's fancy.
Note: This is a join challenge between The Nursery Files and Bump in the Night. If you want to do the Nursery Files' version please choose a child ghost and/or have a baby/child/teen/pregnant character be included as as a second dragged along companion.
