This is a fictional story and this is not actual image of emily…

It was a dark and stormy night when John first met his ghost girlfriend. He had just moved into his new apartment, and he was feeling lonely and isolated. John had always been a bit of a loner, and he had never been good at making friends. He spent most of his time reading books and watching movies.

One night, while John was watching a horror movie, he felt a strange presence in the room. He turned around, and he saw a figure standing in the corner of the room. It was a young woman, and she was dressed in a long, flowing gown. John was terrified, and he jumped out of his seat, knocking over his popcorn bowl.

The woman looked at him with kind eyes and smiled. "Don't be afraid," she said. "I won't hurt you."

John was hesitant at first, but as he looked closer, he realized that the woman was not a living person. She was a ghost. "Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Emily," she said. "I used to live in this apartment a long time ago."

John was intrigued. He had never believed in ghosts, but here was one, standing right in front of him. He sat down on the couch and looked at Emily. She was beautiful, with long, curly hair and a gentle smile.

Over the next few weeks, John and Emily spent a lot of time together. She would appear in his apartment every night, and they would talk for hours about everything and anything. John found himself falling in love with her. He knew that it was strange to fall in love with a ghost, but he couldn't help himself.

Emily was everything that John had ever wanted in a girlfriend. She was kind, loving, and she understood him in a way that no one else ever had. They shared a love for books and movies, and they would spend hours discussing their favorite authors and directors.

John knew that he had to tell someone about Emily. He couldn't keep her a secret forever. He decided to confide in his best friend, Dave. Dave was skeptical at first, but when John showed him a picture of Emily, he was shocked. "She's beautiful," he said. "But how do you know that she's a ghost?"

John told Dave everything about Emily, and he even invited him over to meet her. Dave was hesitant at first, but he soon warmed up to Emily. They spent the evening drinking wine and talking about their favorite books.

As time went on, John and Emily's relationship grew stronger. John knew that he could never have a physical relationship with her, but he didn't care. He loved her for who she was, not for what she looked like.

However, John soon realized that Emily was not the only ghost in his apartment. There were others, and they were not as friendly as Emily. They would often appear in the middle of the night, and they would scare John with their cold, lifeless eyes.

John tried to ignore the other ghosts, but they were becoming more aggressive. They would move objects around the apartment, and they would make loud, eerie noises. John was afraid, and he didn't know what to do.

One night, when the other ghosts were particularly aggressive, John decided to seek help from a paranormal investigator. The investigator, a middle-aged woman named Jane, was skeptical at first, but when she saw the ghosts with her own eyes, she knew that they were real.

Jane explained to John that the other ghosts were trapped in the apartment, and they were angry because they couldn't move on to the afterlife. She suggested that John perform a cleansing ritual to rid the apartment of the negative energy.

John followed Jane's instructions, and he lit candles and burned sage around the apartment.
