THE DRESS FORM GHOST

As I am always writing about my father-in-law who always had some kind of story to tell, I can tell this one on him. In his later years he would get scared easy. So one night he had go up to go to the bathroom which was down the hall from his room. The moon was shining in one of the windows and he just happened to look into the room. So when he looked in the room he saw a ghost. Here he went squalling at my mother-in-law to get up. There is a ghost in this house. She was real sleepy and told him to get back in bed and go back to sleep there was not a ghost in the house.
Of course he would not let it go. I know what I saw when I looked in the room. There was a lady standing with a big white gown on. I know I saw it. So here my mother-in-law gets up and him with her and they go creeping back down the hall to the room.
There it is, see I told you we have got a ghost. Sure enough there it stood all big and billowing out. White as could be. My mother-in-law knew what it was when she saw it but she just had to scare him some more because he had woke her up. He would not jush so she flipped the light on.
Now just guess what that big white thing was.
Back then we liked to sew. I had ordered a dressform from Sears to put our dresses on so we could get the hems straight. This is what he saw. It did look like a ghost when I went into the room and saw what she was talking about.
 She had got a white can-can, which is a big stand out slip for a dress we were working on and had put it on the form. Now when you walk by it does look like a lady ghost standing there. From then on he made sure there was nothing on it. We never let him live it down. I cannot tell it like she can and make it sound so funny. I just wish I could have been behind it and let it start walking. You talk about running. I wonder where he would have ended at.
