Cora Lee Merriweather had the best bake shop in the whole state.  Maybe in the whole world.  She made lusciuous cakes and pastries and cookies.  Everyone was so excited to see what was in the glass cases, very few people even noticed Cora Lee.  When she died, everyone turned out for her funeral but it wasn't until the menu from her bake shop was read that people began to cry.  Her bake shop was sold but it seems old Cora Lee didn't want to leave just yet and she haunted the shop.  Owner after owner was frightened away by Cora Lee's ghost.  Is there anyone who can stand up to her ghost and get the bake shop us and running again?
