Where's the ghost?
Traditionally, during warm spring nights children play Ghost in the Graveyard--a game that may be known by many other names, such as "The Witch Ain't Out Tonight" and "Bloody Murder". It's not only fun, but it’s great exercise.
Find some friends to play. The more people you can round up, the better.
1. Designate one house's yard or another area in the neighborhood for the playing field. You will need a home base on which everyone can stand or all touch at the same time such as a large tree, front stoop, or back patio.
2. Choose one person to be the "ghost". You can do this any way you like. Have everyone but the ghost stand at the home base while the ghost runs off to hide somewhere outside.
3. Chant slowly as a group, "One o'clock... two o'clock... three o'clock..." and so on, up to twelve o'clock. Then shout, "Midnight! I hope I don't see the ghost tonight!" Alternatively, "Starlight, star bright, I hope to see a ghost tonight!"
4. Leave the home base and search for the ghost in the yard. The ghost's job is to jump out, surprise, and tag a player. When anyone encounters the ghost they should yell, "Ghost in the graveyard!" and try to run away. When the ghost catches someone, they become a ghost too. Anyone who is able to run back to home base is safe.
5. Have all the people who were caught go and hide with (or close to) the original ghost. The people on the home base start again with the chant, "One o'clock... two o'clock..."
6. Continue the game like this until everyone is caught. The last person caught becomes the ghost for the next round.
Clues:
Mystery Location
Locate the final resting place with mirrored cement stairs.
Continue on gravel road until you locate the stone Muir tree with stone logs neatly in line.
Spy a tree at a reading of 310’, Proceed to the tree.
At the base of the tree near the cement wall is a cubby hole where the “Ghost in the Graveyard” is hidding.
Now hurry back to home base before you become the ghost.
Please be discreet and rehide well so it cannot be seen from any angle.
No ink or pen in this box. Black, Red, Purple or Orange suggested colors.
