With the slight breeze that day blowing this waterproof coat
gently around, out of the corner of my eye, from a distance, with the road
traffic in between, it is just about conceivable that I could have mistaken it
for a ghost. Except, of course, that it’s pink and ghosts should be white.
On the other hand, it may be more conceivable that people
who grew believing in ghosts and spirits as part of their culture as many in
Thailand do and who saw this coat at night (…out of the corner of their eye,
from a distance, with the traffic inbetween…) might say they saw a ghost.
Except, I suspect, that it probably doesn’t fit the description of any Thai
ghosts they grew up learning about.
Okay, so it’s just a pink waterproof coat on a fence doing a
bad impression of a ghost that’s going to fool nobody.
