Trust me, it’s not easy, especially when the ghosts don’t like to cooperate or are just plain jerks. When the town’s biggest high school bully of all time decides to come back and haunt Castleberry High, it’s my job to stop him. The problem is, this job is bringing up a whole lot of personal baggage and bad memories... because that bully bullied me. The good news is, the town detective knows my secret and wants to protect me.The bad news is, the town detective knows my secret and wants to protect me.
