You know, when you say it like that, I wonder why no one has got around to making stories about GAR ghosts.
We have had a decade-plus love affair with reimagined vampires and werewolves, from
Buffy the Vampire Slayer to
Underworld, but why aren't ghosts getting any love? I mean, come on, just because they're ethereal doesn't mean they can't be macho. Think
Patrick Swayze!

Not to "even" the number per se. Once the "extra person" is spotted and acknowledged, the deaths begin, with at least one fatality every month until the cycle starts over at the beginning of a new school year.
As I mulled over the premise of the curse, I couldn't help but be reminded of my army days, back when I was performing my national service. Soldiers invariably have plenty of ghost stories to share, such as one that involves performing roll call in the middle of a night operation.
I'm sure you're all familiar with variants of the story: A platoon of, say, 27 men counting up in pitch dark, "...twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight... wait, what???!!"
