After reading your post I went out and bought a boiler suit, sewed my name on it, grabbed my marker and went down the local library looking for "old woman ghosts who float around reading books" . On finding one I crept up on her and jumped out from my hiding place in the literature section walking the trigger furiously to get the authentic nuclear accelerator proton beam effect you described in your thread but to my dismay the stream passed straight through her. Imagine my surprise when she turned into a fiery skeleton and covered me in ectoplasm !!!!!!!
Where did I go wrong ?
