A newspaper photographer was assigned to go and take pictures of a local house that was supposed to be haunted. He went to the spooky old house, went in, and began looking around. After a few minutes he heard spooky sounds and turned around saw a ghost coming towards him. He grabbed his camera, and the ghost asked him what he was doing. He said “I just want to take your picture for the newspaper.” The ghost was grateful for the publicity and posed for the photographer. When the photographer finished, he thanked the ghost and went rushing back to the newspaper to develop the film. When he saw the results, he was terribly disappointed that they all came out black – every photo was underexposed. His editor asked him what happened, and he said, “Sorry, Chief. The spirit was willing, but the flash was weak.”
