After seeing an old friend he hadn't seen in years, Albert immediately called a priest to his house to get rid of the ghosts that were there. Why? | ||

Ghosts = literal ghosts? Or figurative ghosts? Bad memories? Past misdeeds? | ||

Does his friend (say? do? show him?) something making him suspect he has ghosts? Does his friend believe in ghosts? Or is his friend trying to trick him? Relevant? Has Albert experienced something in the house, and the (sight of? conversation with?) his friend made him conclude that it was caused by ghosts? | ||

Was Albert hard of hearing? Was that the reason he misunderstood his doctor friend? Was Albert diagnosed with a medical problem? Did his doctor friend say something that sounded like: Ghoul? Specter? Ghost? Spirit? Zombie? Undead? Skeleton? Did he say, "You have a boo boo?" Did he say, "It's not a tumuh!" Did he say, "Turn your head and cough?" Did he say, "Bert, you have a hernia," and Albert heard, "You have an Ernie?" And poor old Ernie having died from overexposure to self-tanner just last year? | ||

Did the Doctor say something like "I'd recommend exercising" and Albert took this as exorcising? Correct! Ha! That must be it. Good one. I had thought so... ;p **********SPOILER*************** Poor old Albert was feeling under the weather, so he went to the doctor's office to get checked out. It just so happens that his good old friend was the doctor that he saw. "Doc, I just moved to this area, and I've been feeling really ill and lethargic lately. Any advice?" "Well," Doc replies, "It sounds like you may need to excersise!" Poor Al thinks that he's ill because ghosts are haunting his house, so he calls the priest. Only after he pays the man for the job does he realize what Doc really meant. Thank you everyone for your questions, and Peter for solving! Big star to you! I hope you liked the puzzle. My next one should be out in a bit! :P | ||

Oh, and the title is quoted from my friend, who, while watching Silent Hill, always says "Noooo! The Darkness!" when the sirens go off, the darkness comes, and the Ghost/Zombie/Demon-baby-thingies come out. (I was recently told it's also from Charlie the Unicorn, but we won't go there...;) ) |
