Ghost

While visiting a spooky historic house, a lady confided in the guide that she was terrified of ghosts and dreaded meeting oe on the tour.

to reassure her, the guide told her that in all the years he had worked at the house, he had never seen a single ghost.

"and how long have you worked here?" asked the woman.

"three hundred years."
