I'm Liz Sauer and this is Ghosts in the Verbs, a podcast of ghost stories from Wellesley

Massachusetts.

A warning, adults who use adult language told me these frightening tales, these ghost

stories aren't for kids.

I am so excited to get to this week's story.

Old Weedgeboard Nick is one of the most reviled ghosts in the Verbs neighbors, and Lucky

for us, his own next door neighbor spilled some tea.

I must apologize though.

As hard as I tried, I was not completely on my game for this recording.

I did my very best, but the house is not quiet, and I was on borrowed time recording this

episode between the kids' classroom Zoom sessions.

Anyone else hate Zoom yet?

Try sitting on a bunch of kindergarteners telling each other how and why they love their

favorite books.

It'll cure your love of technology to sweet.

Anyhow, before we get to this story, I have to say thank you all for ordering Ghosts

in the Verbs merch in support of Direct Relief.

You're making my birthday wish come true.

There's still time to order merch.

Just go to GhostsInTheVerbs.com and click on the merch tab.

All proceeds from now through Monday, April 13th, my 41st birthday, will be donated to

Direct Relief, an organization that gets much needed PPEs to help care workers.
