How does this sound for the title of a cricket themed/haunted mansion story: Caught and Ghouled (a play on caught and bowled).
Otherwise I'm stuck with the temporary title of 'The Haunted Mansion' which is overplayed.
I don't think the play on words works tbh. It's a bit of a stretch and ghouled and bowled doesn't even rhyme. I'd have never got that if you didn't explain it. Sorry but I feel you need to know how I feel
I believe this thread can come up with something better (let's go brains trust!)
Edit: something involving "boundary"?
Nope, I appreciate the response so no need to apologise. I don't want 'the haunted mansion' so I am trying to think of something else, but tis a struggle. I shall go back to my pun drawing board.
L B Double-Ghouled?
Ghoul-gly?
Pitch Dark?
Yeah I got nuthin, I'm stumped :|
Gave me a good chuckle.

Edit: But I guess there'd have to be TWO ghosts for that to work!

tell me a ghost has a wicket as a wooden leg/stump
That seems to be the case, with lots of mysterious sightings. But it turns out he's the old caretaker who lives next door, who's been creeping around at night trying to get the the bottom of strange noises heard in the walls and a seemingly haunted cricket ball that moves around although no-one has been near it. After much sleuthing by the hero and caretaker it is eventually resoved that the "ghost" is actually a playful little black cat that they adopt and name Midnight. They live happily ever after.
A cricket pirate story is an idea...
