Summary
It was just another high school day in the late ‘70s for Ellen MacNeil, filled with big hair and disco dreams until an odd sensation crept in—a feeling of dread that clung to her like bad cologne. Little did she know, it was her brother checking in… from the other side. On the very day he was tragically lost in Vietnam, his spirit returned to do a little redecorating of her life, moving pictures, breaking watches, and, oh, making sure she knew he’d be sticking around. And that was only the beginning. Hear Ellen’s tale as she navigates high school with a ghostly guide and learns that family bonds can transcend even death. This is just Part One on The Grave Talks!
