Dear Doug,

I had the scariest nightmare EVER last night.

I was on a boat, and it was one about the size of a cruise ship, but there was only about fifteen people on it and we were already sailing the high seas. I noticed something was up from the beginning of the dream, and so I asked a few questions from the people on the ship. Apparently some of the people thought this ship was cursed yada yada yada but hadn't noticed anybody gone missing. Which was weird.

As a side note, only a few of my friends were on this ship, all of the other people were just random people I've never met.

So, after asking around the ship, I start feeling like I'm being watched and run back to my room. My room, oddly, had three regular walls, but also a wall that was just made out of a thick glass facing the sea so I could see out. After a few minutes of calming down, I hear a "thump" followed by a dragging noise on my window-wall. Looking over, it was a guy (who admittedly was cute ) with blood covering his hands, dragging them across the window while floating in mid-air. Obviously a ghost. Not running like a normal person would, I hid under my bed covers until hearing a few more thumps, and upon looking up again, I saw more ghost-things had arrived.

Right before running away this time, the first ghost looked at me and gave me a really creepy smile and disappeared along with the other ghosts.

So, I ran out the door of my room down the hallway (which before had been brightly lit, but now looked really dark for some reason), and I ran into a group of about four people, which included my friend, Sarah. They were telling ghost stories, and I told them what happened except they just thought I was telling a story and didn't believe me.

After talking to Sarah for a few minutes, I went to find the captain (while the ghosts were still stalking me, but I wasn't bugged by them as much), and it turned out to be GGB! When I tried explaining to him what happened, he wouldn't believe me and walked me back to my room.

Once again the ghosts were all there, except this time they all looked dead, and were in my room, but my door was locked from the outside and I couldn't get out. Thanks GGB.

Frantically, I pulled out my cell phone (the one thing people never seem to think of ) and tried calling my dad, and he answered, but when I tried explaining to him what happened... He told me he didn't know me and hung up. Then I got killed by the ghosts.

But it didn't end there! Instead I started just "watching" the nightmare go on, and Sarah was the only one who noticed me and other people on the ship missing, and the ghosts started stalking her. I think that the ghosts were the people who died before me on the ship, and whoever the next person was to notice people had gone missing was the next to die. O_O

Scary, huh?
