Dear Shady Sadie,
Valentine’s day is coming up and I have no one to spend it with! My husband’s spirit was exorcised last April after one hundred and ninety-two years of marriage, so I’m alone for the first time in almost two centuries. I miss him, but I’m ready to get back out there and find another man’s spirit. The only problem is – I forget how to attract the opposite sex! Please help!
Chastely yours,
Ghostly Gertie
Greetings Ghostly Gertie,
As Valentine’s Day approaches, the ethereal energy of love swirls through the afterlife. For my fellow female ghosts seeking a spectral sweetheart, fear not; this week’s advice is dedicated to unlocking the secrets of love beyond the veil. It’s time to transcend the realms of the unseen and manifest a love that spans eternity.
1. Embrace Your Ghostly Glow:
Radiate confidence in your ethereal essence. Embrace the ghostly glow that makes you uniquely captivating. Whether you manifest a soft light or shimmer with a translucent aura, let your spectral beauty shine. Confidence is magnetic, even in the afterlife.
2. Haunt with Purpose:
Instead of wandering aimlessly through the corridors of existence, haunt with purpose. Choose places where you’re likely to encounter kindred spirits. Perhaps a haunted mansion or a ghostly ballroom—locations where the energy of love lingers in the spectral air.
3. Send Love Signals:
In the afterlife, communication takes unique forms. Send love signals through subtle touches—etheric caresses or gentle whispers that convey your romantic intentions. Let the language of love transcend the boundaries of the physical world.
4. Share Hauntingly Beautiful Memories:
Connect with potential soulmates by sharing hauntingly beautiful memories. Recall moments from your past existence, reminisce about love, and create a spiritual bond through shared experiences. Love that spans lifetimes is truly timeless.
5. Fashionably Ghostly:
Elevate your spectral style for the occasion. Choose an outfit that blends elegance with an otherworldly flair. Consider a flowing gown that dances with the wind or an ensemble that mirrors your favorite era. A ghostly wardrobe speaks volumes in the language of love.

6. Create a Love Altar:
Manifest a love altar in your ethereal abode. Decorate it with symbols of love—faded love letters, ghostly flowers, and remnants of romantic gestures. Let the energy of the altar attract love into your afterlife, and watch as your soulmate materializes.
7. Dance Through the Veil of Time:
Love knows no bounds, even through the veil of time. If you feel a connection with a spirit from a different era, don’t be afraid to dance through the centuries. Share your experiences, learn from each other, and let love bridge the gaps between lifetimes.
8. Be Patient, Timeless Love Takes Time:
Patience is a virtue that transcends both life and the afterlife. Finding timeless love may take time, but rest assured, the spirits aligned with your heart will appear when the cosmic timing is perfect. Trust the journey, and let love unfold organically.
May the ethereal winds of love guide you on this Valentine’s Day and beyond. Embrace the magic of the afterlife, and may your spectral heart find the love it seeks.
Eternally Yours,
Shady Sadie
