Are Ghosts Real?

I always thought ghosts are unreal when I was little. But as I grew I read a lot of stories from books and internet. I also heard stories from teachers I had. In the book The Presence by Eve Bunting I have been wondering if ghosts can really disguise themselves as humans and talk to people. This is not the first and last book about ghosts.

The main character is Catherine. She just experienced the lose of a best friend by a car accident. Her friend had another with a boy. A boy comes up to Catherine and says I talk to your dead best friend. She was shocked to find out that, but she was happy to find somebody to contact her friend with. But the problem is the "presence" is a ghost.

The author, Eve Bunting, wants to put out a fact to make the book a real good mystery but she might've also wanted to put out a fact that there is ghosts in our world. Maybe she even believes in ghosts. Eve is a probably just the study of ghosts.

This book connects to life today. People today believe in ghosts. They are not very rare. That's why ghost stories are from all over the world. There is myths and legends from all over the world. The myths and legends are based on the way cultures and religions are today. The stories that are mostly carried on are ghost stories.
