A Simple Antidote.

From where I sit in front of my computer I have a clear view of my kitchen window, and sometimes at night if the blind is up I wonder how I would feel if I saw something floating in the darkness just beyond the glass. A disembodied head perhaps, with a face that is vaguely human but not quite fully so in a way you can’t quite explain. And maybe the face would be white and shrouded in long, unkempt black hair which obscures one of the eyes while the other stares directly at you with malevolent intent.

If you allow your imagination to dwell on such an image for long enough it can eventually become a little spooky. But all you have to do is imagine a pink clothes peg clipped to the wraith's nose and suddenly it isn’t spooky any more.
