Castaway Ghost

Write about a ghost stranded in an unusual place and describe its attempts to communicate with the living.

This writing prompt provides an opportunity to explore the perspective of a ghost whose desperate attempts at making contact are going unnoticed. It propels a writer to think about the barriers between the physical and the spiritual realm. This may lead you to explore themes such as loneliness, desperation, and fear, and stimulate deep thoughts such as: what methods could a ghost use to attempt communication? What if the place is inhospitable or not frequently visited?
