A Green-haired man stood at the attic window watching a new couple begin to enter his old worn out home. The house had been left to rot for years on end which began the year of his death. Everything that happened to him that day had been a blur. The couple that stood in the yard had two young children. They seemed like a lovely couple, excited to see the house. He frowned. People like that always made him angry. They'd be entering the house without permission. The first day his body was found, his family left and never returned. He tried everything to get their attention, but nothing seemed to work. It made things worse because they couldn't see him. His green bangs fell into his eyes just as the family entered the house.

"Why can't people understand that I want to be alone!" The man exclaimed, stomping toward the attic doors. He phased through them. One of the perks about being a ghost. He could go through walls and doors without getting hurt. For the most part, he could stay intangible unless something required him to be solid. Storming down the hall he approached a spiral staircase that led downstairs to the foyer. A chandelier hung over the center of the room and a small square table sat in the center of the room. Now that he was able to see the family close up, he could see a blonde and a brunette. The two kids both had blonde hair but brown eyes. The green haired man walked downstairs and stood at the bottom. He approached the family however, when he got closer and attempted to communicate with the family. The only two that saw him were the children and their eyes grew wide. The man couldn't help but realize the children were indeed scared half to death.

"Get out!" He yelled. The children backed up. A young girl touched her father on the arm trying to get his attention.

Annoyance hit, and the man solidified knocking over the lamp. The antique lamp crashed to the floor. In fear the entire family screamed. The man smirked as he spent the next two weeks forcing the family out of the house. The family couldn't take it anymore and during dinner they ran out of the house leaving behind their belongings. He sighed, walking over to the couch and sat down. Everything was starting to go back to normal and he'd been thankful for the peace and quiet.
