Back in 1940, when he was a 25 year old newlywed, Ralph built one of those little “teardrop” trailers. He and his wife, Betty, used it for vacations to all parts of the U.S. Later, when the kids came, they’d hitch the trailer to his old Chevy station wagon and the whole family would hit the road.
In the summer of 1985, while vacationing with Betty and a couple of the grandkids, Ralph suffered a massive heart attack and died in his sleep right there in the trailer. But you see, old Ralph loved that trailer and he just wasn’t ready to give it up. His ghost stuck around, never more that 100 feet from the trailer.
Problem was, it took Ralph nearly 3 years to figure out how to become visible…and Betty sold the trailer a year after he died.
So now, wherever the trailer goes, so does Ralph. Oh, he doesn’t mind it, because he gets to see all sorts of places. Heck, nowadays the trailer is a real collector’s item and the young fella who now owns it has really fixed it up nice. He has even seen Ralph a time or two and hasn’t gotten scared. Not a bad afterlife for old Ralph.
