The Spanking Ghost
by Horatio

In 1988, my wife passed away in her sleep in Spain of a brain hemorrhage. Previous to this event, my wife had expressed the wish to be cremated. However, time had passed and I had forgotten her wish. Therefore I had her buried in a grave at my local cemetery at Weston Mill, Plymouth Devon, U.K.

One week after her burial, I was alone in our double bed in the bedroom of our house fast asleep, lying half on my side, when an unknown hand slapped my backside – hard. It was very painful. I reached for the light switch and flooded the room with light. My house was secure; the front door and back door were locked. I saw nothing, but the pain of that slap across my backside was very real. It came to my mind: my wife had visited me to express her displeasure at my alteration of her wish to have been cremated instead of burial!
