We Made the News
Ghost hunting is an off beat hobby I do. I don't tell too many people about it because I don't want to be considered loopy, or off my rocker. None the less, it is an interest I pursue quite actively.
Our ghost tracking group numbers about thirty active members, all interested in the unexplained. For a newspaper reporter to come out and find out what we're all about, makes me think we're not all that nuts after all. There must be a lot of other people interested in what we do. After all, we did make the local news.
Of course I expected the usual ribbing and teasing that comes with suddenly becoming a local celebrity in the ghostbusting line of work. The anticipated guffaws were nipped in the bud. As the the first words of " G'mornin' Mr Ghostbuster" exited my co-workers mouths, I shot back "That's the cats ass isn't it? I'm finally rich and famous." Nobody mentioned the article again, but they had a few questions of their own about what I do for a hobby.
The article was published in the highest ranked newspaper in the city. Hurray for our ghost trackers meetup group!

Ghost tracking? That sounds like something that would require an immense amount of patience.

What a lame, unoriginal headline.
It sucks that the copy editor did that to what sounds like an interesting story - it just begs to be made fun of.
The editor in me goes crazy over things like that.
