Dream

 

We are sleeping in an old gutted house, 6 of us, not sure who when we start hearing sounds which I dismiss. Then a tennis ball drops from the attic tied to a string and one of the kids is playing w it. As I go into the hallway to observe it as it swings from the darkness, there is a battery powered doll sitting beside the rope, watching me. Then from another room a person, a stranger a ghost rises up and walks passed me thru the house and from another direction another ghost, having come in from the street she too brushes passed me, a gaping head wound concealed in a shroud and soon they all disappear. They return over and over the course of the night, as if on some timer. First the doll would slide into view and sit at the top of the attic looking down the pull down staircase, then the ball on the string seemingly hanging on to thin air, and then the old woman ghost with the somber face walks across the house and then the woman w the gaping wound enters all like clockwork and they are harmless even entertaining to some of the guests. Until finally as the guests are about to leave, they wait one more time for the entertaining visions and as they pop out, one tries to engage the woman w the somber face and she turns and growls and says, “get the fuck out!” at which point all exits close and lock and they are trapped and chained by the ghosts who torture and frighten them to no end.
