<DIV>Barks would *never* use a ghost in a story. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>AND I AGREE, BUT...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>there is one very interesting borderline case: "The
Gost</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sheriff of Las Gasp" (WDC 176).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He fell down a mine shaft and afterwards
he</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> stopped </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>aging. Barks sorta offers an explanation for this,
but </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>when I read the story for the first time way
back</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in the fifties I thought what had REALLY
happened</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>was that the guy had turned into </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>a ghost </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>without knowing
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it. I even remember being slightly </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>put off: "This is a ghost </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>story. This is not proper Duck stuff."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Which just proves Don's point, I
guess.</FONT></DIV>
