Ghost Writer

A horror novel is a fantasy world of ghosts and monsters. The stories aren't real, of course — or are they? Callum Calder writes ghost stories and his books sell thousands of copies. But Callum is also a ghost hunter and he bases all of his best-sellers on real experiences of real haunted houses. So what's it like to be a ghost hunter and writer?

Callum believes that writing is just like any other job, so he likes to be very organised. After breakfast, he goes up to the attic where he has a tiny office. [A|B|C|D|E|F] Usually, he writes for four hours, grabs a sandwich and then returns for another four hours. "I always stop at five o'clock." [A|B|C|D|E|F] That's what he does from Monday to Friday, but it's what he does on weekends that is the most interesting.

"The weekends are for investigating ghosts. [A|B|C|D|E|F] I take cameras and tape recorders as well as lots of other equipment. Sometimes a recording shows something that we miss. [A|B|C|D|E|F] They give me the history behind the ghosts. I'm quite creative, so it quickly turns into another book idea." But do ghosts really exist?

Callum is sure that they do. "Every time I step inside a haunted house, I get the feeling that there's something there. The ghosts aren't trying to hurt us; they're just trying to communicate." [A|B|C|D|E|F] Callum says, "When I find out, that book will be my best ever!"
