I watch for details in books I read.   I learn so much that way.  When our sons were young, on our long trips from Kansas City to the West for vacations, I used to read to them while riding, Louis L'amor books.  He was so good about nature's details.  It made the boys appreciate the Western world and know about things ahead of time.

Daytime Ghosts: "Topper" (both a movie and a TV show) and "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" (TV show). Both fun ghosties...

Quite so! Another thing - I have never, ever seen a movie or read story were the ghost appears during the day, LOL...They had this rather silly 'Ghosthunters' series on the tube, and these people always went out at night! Is there any good reason why a respectable ghost, and even a disreputable one, would appear only at night?

In fact, experts in hypnosis and other trance-work can tell you that if you supply information for three or more of the senses, the subconscious will accept it as real--which is how we lose ourself in stories that speak to the senses, whether we notice consciously or not.

Yes little things sometimes set things buzzing. Of course you cannot put a thunderstorm on blogit, we all might write wet things.
