Leaking Top Secret Dossier Files of Current Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits Members--and win a SIGNED COPY of MY PLAIN JANE!
You have probably never heard of The Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits.
And for good reason.
It is, after all, a secret society.
A secret diary by Charlotte Brontë was recently unearthed by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, and Jodi Meadows. They cleaned it up and published it as MY PLAIN JANE, pretending it was, of course, a fictional account.
Because you can't say secret things in public.
But the truth is, Brontë's famous novel JANE EYRE is, in fact, based on a real person--Miss Brontë's best friend and teacher. And Mr. Rochester also existed. Her novel was based on a series of events that happened to people she knew in real life, and she used the names of her friends to create what is considered a classic novel to this day.
And now we have the true story through Brontë's diaries.
And it is shocking.
And full of secrets.
Because you see, dear readers, ghosts are real. And there is truly a secret society of ghostbusters whose goal is to help ghosts move on and keep society at large in the dark about what they do.
I was so intrigued by this revelation that I did further digging.
I have found a top-secret dossier belonging to the Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits.
I am sharing it here today because this information is too important to remain hidden.
If you have found these documents then you can be trusted and must now help spread the word.
Below, I am revealing a few of the high-profile members of the Society. I was shocked to see how famous some of its members are--and you will be, too.
JIMMY FALLON
There is a reason Jimmy Fallon wanted to be a talk show host growing up. As both a Seer and a Beacon, both the living and the dead are attracted to his person. Ghosts are everywhere, and they often cling to celebrities. Hollywood is a town of gossip, and former co-workers as well as adoring fans cling on to current stars long after they should have moved on.
Fallon created his platform to bring unseeing celebrities to his show, hoping to see what ghosts may be secretly haunting them. He helps determine the ghost's intentions and decides whether or not the ghost can continue on as is or should be captured and released to move on.
It is grueling work to see so many ghosts day after day, but someone has to do it, and Fallon is the man for the job!
BILL MURRAY
There is a reason that Bill Murray refused to be in a third Ghostbusters movie for years.
There is a reason that his cameo in the recent reboot is as a skeptic who doesn't believe in ghosts.
Between the first release of the first Ghostbusters movie and the filming of the sequel, Murray briefly died and was resuscitated. A newly minted Seer, Murray realized how crazy society's perception of catching ghosts was and the way ghosts are viewed by the public. He didn't agree with the vision of the movie, but was under contract to complete it.
He swore never again, and a third movie never got off the ground. When he was approached about making a cameo in the 2016 reboot, he said he would only do it if he could play a skeptic. Because, of course, who wants the world knowing that ghosts REALLY exist when it would create mass hysteria?
PAULEY PERRETTE
Pauley Perrette wanted to be an FBI agent when she was younger. Instead, she went on to become an actress. She is best known for playing forensic scientist Abby Sciuto on NCIS. Perrette's early interest in secret affairs led to a lot of research and knowledge that became useful upon discovering the existence of the Society.
Perrette is not a Seer herself, but discovered the Society when her cousin (See File P-901) became a Seer. She then landed a cushy job on the TV series NCIS playing a forensic scientist, and has gleaned even more knowledge through her character and the scripts she is given.
The Society relies on her vast knowledge when creating delicate plots to enter secure buildings and find the various talismans that assisted in a person's death so that missions can be successfully carried out to help the deceased move on.
LIN MANUEL MIRANDA
Lin Manuel Miranda is a composer, writer, and actor. His most successful piece to date is Hamilton: An American Musical. Miranda grew up hearing stories about his grandparents (See File M-3767) , who had met doing Society work, when he and his older sisterSee File M-3813) would visit them for a month in Puerto Rico each year of their childhood. They were always told to keep the stories secret, that they would never be believed if they told the truth about ghosts.
Miranda was one of the few who knew the truth about Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre, and Edward Rochester. Intrigued by this alternate view of history, he began constantly looking at history through new eyes. He created his hit musical Hamilton, in part, because he looked at the history of the United States' forefathers through new eyes, assessing what may have been and piecing history together for a modern audience.
The Society is currently in talks with Miranda to tell its story through the medium of musical theatre, hoping to gauge modern society's reaction and decide if it is time to reveal itself, its work, and the truth about the existence of ghosts depending on how the show is received.
PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE
The recently married couple met through their work at the Society. The Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits was once called The Royal Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits before King William IV cut the Society from its budget and proclaimed that ghosts didn't exist.
Harry and Meghan plan to slowly reintroduce the Society to public society and bring the noble work of helping the dead move on once again see the light of day.
In the next decade or two, it is expected that the Crown will once more embrace the Society and we will be hearing of its existence in the news.
