By the time you read this, all but one of the Halloween ghosts will have gone home to rest.
Apparently, Samhain, the Celtic god of death, lets them all out for the night on October 31. But from daybreak, it is the Christian festival of All Hallows. After a heady night's haunting, the bad Celtic ghosts become fed up with the goody-goody, churchy ones who strut around being self-righteous for the rest of the day.
So they all have a big punch-up and go back to heaven or hell at nightfall.
That, at least, is what is supposed to happen. Last year, however, at least one ghost skipped parole and absconded to Kowloon Tong.
Perhaps this shade was a Taoist during his earthly existence, and did not recognise the right of either Samhain or St Peter to lock him up for 364 days a year.
Anyway, he seems to have fetched up in Broadcast Drive, where he has been wreaking havoc with the equipment at RTHK.
