The Worst Haunted TV Show
This story might have been included in the Parody category because it is a send up of the "Most Haunted" TV show. I am someone who believes that there is more in Heaven and Earth than is dreamed of in anyone's philosophy. I am a member of a paranormal investigation society and believe that the Taps group on TV gives an honest and faithful account of supernatural experiences.
But the "Most Haunted" TV show appears to be the biggest fake I have ever seen. The only reason that I know what they are is that my wife watches the show faithfully. And even she agrees that the whole show is fake.
This story is also a continuation of the story I did in the 2008 SSC contest about the Schoolhouse restaurant that is haunted by the old schoolmaster. http://www.socsexualityspanking.org/ssc/2008/categories/h_scifi_fantasy/0086.html
Now you remember that last year I told you about the School House Restaurant that is in a seaside village in Rhode Island. It is still haunted by the ghost of an old schoolmaster, who had a love of using the strap. And anyone caught in the restaurant after dark was not going to be sitting comfortably the next day. Friends of mine and I have bugged the place. We love to sit out on our boat, drink rum and watch the Schoolmaster tan bare behinds.
So when we heard that the British TV show, "Worst Haunted" was coming to America, we made sure that they heard about the Schoolhouse. The sun was going down as the Worst Haunted team began setting up in the restaurant, It was ten PM before the star, Yvette Folding, arrived.
She was very critical of the location, "There aren't enough rooms here to do a whole show. Oh, well, let us try something and see how it looks. Here, Mr. Schoolmaster, I am throwing a stone. If you're here, please throw it back."
The stone bounced, seemed to pick up energy, hit a frying pan in the kitchen, flew over their heads, ricocheted off the bell over the front and hit Yvette in the behind.
"Ye-ow, that hurt, what do you creeps think you are doing!" screamed Yvette.
"That was the weirdest thing, I ever saw!" said the guy, who was supposed to be her psychic. "Let's get out of here. This place really is haunted."
"Nonsense! There are such things as ... HELP ME!" Yvette screamed as she was lifted into the air. Her skirt was pulled up, her panties and pantyhose were pulled down, and a strap began spanking her bare bottom. The rest of the cast was running for the door, except for the cameraman who kept right on filming.
The door would not open. Each of the Worst Haunted cast members was grabbed by an invisible force, pulled over to a corner, stripped naked, and told by a bodiless voice to stay there. They were too scared to move.
Then each cast member was bent over the schoolmaster's desk and strapped while they screamed and howled. They were then stood back in the corner. Yvette was given another good strapping. Then the door sprang open and the cast was chased out of the schoolhouse.
People in surrounding restaurants and cafes had heard the noise in the Schoolhouse Restaurant. So there was a big audience as the Worst Haunted cast ran naked through the streets, their bottoms so red that it looked like they were on fire.
The cameraman had never been bothered by ghost and had recorded it all. Oddly enough, this episode was never shown on television. And it is said that Worst Haunted has a crew that will spend three nights in a location before the main cast will come to shot there. They don't want to run into a real ghost.

Cute story. It seemed a bit hastily written, but it still was an interesting idea with a unique point of view.

It's an amusing narrative, I especially appreciated the fact that the cameraman--obviously a true professional--just kept on filming as the ghostly strippings and spankings took place. Maybe the film never made it onto the "small screen" (television), but I'll bet there are plenty of bootlegged copies floating around (okay, that's a silly pun) among the employees of the "Worst Haunted" show--especially if Yvette Folding is, as I strongly suspect, a piece of feminine cheesecake chosen for the starring role more for her erotic appeal than for her investigative ability. (She avoided being totally naked during her first bare-assed strapping, but I'm figuring that the Schoolmaster stripped her to the buff for the second one.) A film or tape showing her naked buns leathered twice, then her running around nude with a glowing derriere, I'll bet that the cameraman could have sold plenty of copies if he was enterprising enough to clandestinely produce them. (Okay, for the ladies I'll concede that female viewers might enjoy seeing the other main cast members, who are apparently male, caught on camera in similar circumstances.)
Well, I extrapolated a bit there...But back to the story I thought the ending, especially the last two lines, was an excellent pointed commentary on so-called "reality television," IMHO those shows generally don't want actual reality and in this fictional case the cast went to considerable lengths to avoid actually running into another true haunted building.
Personally, I liked the tie-in to an earlier (2008) story, as long as this entry stands on its own artistically I see no problem with that...

The execution feels a little rushed and awkward in a few places, but there's a lot to like here: it's a complete story, its a nice use of the category, and the author's personal feelings come through very clearly - the comeuppance is enjoyed by both the ghost and the author. Brownie points for originality, too.
