What Is Your Ghost Name Actually?

You are the Baron Van Der Von Orgsfvt of Osterheavey Hall, who died choking on a pretzel.

The Baron Van Der Von Orgsfvt

Bridie FitzMaurice left home in Tralee /
To seek fame and fortune far over the sea /
She was pretty and witty and ever so merry /
No girl was more beautiful in all of Kerry /
But Bridie dreamed always of a better life: /
"I'll find a rich husband! I'll be a rich wife! /
I'll marry a Lord who is dashing and clever!" /
So Bridie bade farewell to Ireland forever. /  
To London she came, her hopes filling her mind /
With ballgowns and romance and all things refined. /
But the city is cruel, as all can agree,
And no-one paid heed to a girl from Tralee. /
She needed to eat, she had bills to be paid, /
So Bridie FitzMaurice sought work as a maid. /
But she still dreamed that one day she‘d go to a ball /
And that’s how she came to the home of Lord Hall. /  
Lord Hall was handsome, and in want of a bride. /
One day, as she worked, he called Bridie aside. /
“You’re the prettiest servant girl ever“ he said, /
And later that night Lord Hall came to her bed. /
And the next, and the next; every night was the same /
‘Till he got her with child, and she hid it in shame. /
When the swell of her belly could not be ignored /
With her heart in her mouth, she ran to her Lord. /  
“My Lord! I must speak! It is your child I carry! /
Your duty; your honour; my Lord, we must marry!" /
Lord Hall grew grim as he looked in her eye /
His face turned bright red and he let out a cry: /
"A person like you? Wed a great man like me? /
You're nothing but a low-born wench from Tralee! /
The good name of my family would be defiled! /
Get out of my sight. ​ _Get rid of the child._" /  
Bridie ran from the room and she wept and she wept. /
That night to the top of the staircase she crept /
And threw herself down; they found her next morn /
Her dead body broken, her child yet unborn. /
But when night fell they heard, as clear as can be, /
The pitiful cries of that girl from Tralee. /  
Her sobs echo the halls to this day, so it seems /
That Bridie FitzMaurice still weeps for her dreams.

You are No-Eyes Isidore aka “The Lady of the Well”. On summer nights when the moon-tides run full, little children gone to fetch water from the well have spied your ghastly visage in the water’s reflection, silently screaming and completely eyeless. In your mortal days you were devastated when your one true love, the sweet and lovely Hortense, fell tragically down the village well after an argument. Wracked with grief, you tore out your own eyes, knowing you would never see one so lovely as Hortense again. To this day, your spirit still cannot rest; it is all you can do to claw at your empty eye-sockets and wail...though you can make no sound, nor ever love again. Poor Isidore!

You are Mr Albert X. F. Tulkingberry The Forlorn. As a young lad, you collected rocks and stamps. As a youth, grew very fond of the stick insects you kept as pets. The young men of your boarding school would laugh when they saw you playing at hoop with your insect friends, but you paid them no mind. The day you died, you were very much alone.

You are Rattles, the friendly, no-nonsense neighbourhood ghost who mostly haunts the local pub. On the weekends, though, you enjoy visiting recently defeated X Factor contestants, following them down corridors and whispering in their ears, “Rattles! _Rattttllllessssssssssss the Ghooooosttt!_”

You are Millicent Fortescue aka “Mistress Strangewayes” – a notoriously stern and cruel schoolmistress who so oppressed the young gentlewomen in her charge that they would speak long into the night of their desire for revenge on her. One day, an important parliamentarian was visiting the school, and Miss Fortescue was at her worst, demanding of the girls that they scrub every inch of the school until it shone. When the parliamentarian arrived that evening, the girls were most apologetic, as Miss Fortescue had been taken ill with a brain fever, and was forced to retire to her bed. She could not greet the parliamentarian that night, and sent her most profuse apologies. The parliamentarian was disappointed not to meet the great woman, whose reputation for discipline and the instruction of good manners was renowned throughout the landed gentry. However he had to acknowledge that the girls were in excellent spirits, and the meat stew he was served was _most_ delicious. Miss Fortescue was never seen again, and after that night, neither were the girls. Some say they ran into the woods and became a band of outlaws. Some say, wracked with guilt, they threw themselves en masse into the lake. All we do know is that there are many tales that Strangewayes Mansion is to this day walked by the shade of Millicent Fortescue, desperately trying to polish surfaces she can no longer touch. The only room in the house she will not visit is...the kitchen.

You are Spooky Jo. When you were alive, you were quite ordinary. You lived in a semi-detached house and enjoyed watching the cricket. But now that you have died, you are much spookier. That’s why they call you Spooky Jo.
