Hooked up to a Digam 10k with the clip lights blinking when the snare hits! :D Kinky & shocking.

My tub is cozy and has great views! :D
Uh, shouldn't that glass to the hallway be obscure?
If not, what ship and when do you bathe?
:D

Which would freak you out more: the ghost of the child or the ghost of the adult?


Was said ghost male or female? If male stop here. If female, was she naked and hot?

If yes then the first one would freak me out. The adult ghost would be fun.

THIS would upset me more than anything.


Concerning the ghosts, I don't know. A child ghost could be more benign, but it could also be moody, and if it's got weird powers, then it could get unpleasant.
For an adult, it would also depend. If it's a rational person, then I could probably learn to coexist, just so long as they'd kindly leave me shower in peace and not constantly try to scare me. If it's an adult with a grudge, then I think I'd definitely leave, like, that very night.

Other than that, it'd be interesting, I'd think for both parties, to figure out the nature of a ghost, as it seems none has ever been studied, partly because they very very likely don't exist. If they did exist, I'd expect that at least one would have come forth for study. "Oh wow, I'm a ghost! People are really going to want to know about what it's like to be sort of dead. Nah, I'll just screw with the minds of my loved ones and drive them insane."

Nifty.

Well, she is in charge of entertainment on the ship.

Most of the time at night. The shades work fine. :) But most of the time they are open at night.

Of course the view (note highlighted green area) from the outside is not going to reveal too much.

Even with a good telescope/telephoto, not much to see. :p

If I actually saw either of the two things described in the OP in real life, I'd probably have a heart attack and die on the spot. So which one would freak me out more would be irrelevant. Either one would freak me out as much as it is possible for me to be freaked out.

The adult because it is a double scare, first by the initial notice of a figure, then when I move the curtain back.

What would be even more hilarious then is that the ghost was actually you - when you died, you also were able to move through time. So you died, and then went back in time to give yourself a heart attack.
