Where did you come up with that granny story?"
"I saw it on a TV show about ghosts. The Jenningses really ate it up, didn't they?"
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Corey grinned. "Ghosts are about to reappear at the inn," she said. "In fact, I predict the Jenningses will have their own experience with the supernatural before they leave."
"They'll go home and tell other people," I said, "who'll come to the inn hoping to see ghosts. They won't be disappointed."
"Soon Fox Hill will be booked up every night," Corey went on. "Grandmother will have to turn people away."
"They'll camp out in the yard."
"They'll look in the windows."
"There'll be a traffic jam from here to Burlington."
"The Learning Channel will send a team of psychics and ghost hunters."
"We'll be on the evening news."
"Anderson Cooper will do a week long special on CNN."
"Someone will write a book like "
"It'll be a bestseller."
"They'll make a movie of it!"
"We'll star in it!"
"We'll be famous!" By this time we were shouting and laughing and jumping on Corey's bed.
"Travis!" Grandmother shouted from the doorway. "Corey! What on earth is all this ruckus?"
We tried to stop laughing. "We're just fooling around," I said while Corey hiccupped hysterically.
"Well, please calm down," Grandmother said. "You'll disturb the guests."
That made Corey and me laugh again. Grandmother had no idea how disturbed the guests were going to be.
