The Old Granary Burial Ground, listed as one of Boston's top spots for tourists with a love of history and Instagram photo ops, sits on Tremont Street in modern day downtown. Founded in 1660, the grounds hold thousands of Boston's dead, both ordinary and famous. Its colonial roots make it the final resting spot for men such as Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere. Its macabre gravestones, some featuring death's winged head, make it a favorite for lovers of a dark aesthetic.

Boston's flourishing, paranormal enthusiast groups often use the Granary as a meet-up location, and so it is quite ordinary for a series of announcements to be posted on social media inviting those with a love of all things spooky to meet for free hot cocoa and conversation at sundown by the Franklin obelisk, monument to Benjamin Franklin's parents.

A few colorful candles offer a welcoming environment for those who wander close enough to join conversation.

Double checking the address she had written, Lily walked up and down the short length of the block between Old Harbor Street and Gates Street, both of the buildings which sandwiched the Funeral home were residences. She had the correct address as copied from an online forum, 146 Dorchester Street. How morbid? She thought and started up the stairs.

When she walked in she was greeted by a young man wearing a dark suit. “Are you a friend or relative?”

Dear Beverley,

Thank you for having the ads for our services placed so efficiently, I appreciate your efforts to help keep things operational during this phase of the company's changes.

I do note that the guarantee is somewhat less than attractive to any potential client. I am quite sure you are already dealing with this with the appropriate individuals at the publication. Please keep me apprised of the response so I can take it further if needed.

Again, thank you for your taking on extra responsibilities at this time.

Kind regards,

Gerald

Ms. Savoy,

I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with the typo in our Classified ad!!!

"Discretion is 10% guaranteed!"

Really?!

You can just imagine what Mr. Hargreaves thinks about his investment in your publication.

I actively tried to think of a worse way to typo the ad, and all I could come up with is if you had typed 'homo' instead of 'home'. Literally that's it.

FIX IT.

Ms. Savoy,

Thanks for helping Eli get our job ad posted so fast. It's like the Rapture around here; we need people! The second ad should go in the Classified section under Miscellaneous Services. I've attached our logo for the pop-up on your home page. Let me know if you need it in another format. My fingers are crossed that we drum up some interest!

Y'know, sometimes I think abut booking a river cruise down the river of BS flowing out of some of these campaigns, but, hey... 'Tis the political season - and it will drag on, kids.

Anyhow, this, um... This anti-haunting group? Did some checking and got a couple of leads. Yeah, uh... 'G... Host and... Company'. That's, um... Not exactly on the subtle side, right? But, yeah, it's a thing somewhere in Boston. Allegedly... Maybe we can get someone on the show, field some calls? Play strip poker on the Web cam? 'Cause maybe that'll be as likely, but who knows?

So...! Somebody calling themselves 'Streetcap1' uploaded this video of something streaking by the International Space Station aaand... I don't know, guys. It's not, like, the most impressive UFO footage in the world, you know? But we've put it on the site, so - as ever - take a look and see for yourself. Maybe it's Buzz Aldrin's jockstrap flying around?

Let's hit the phones: Line one! You're on the air...
