Wow! If you are awakened sometime during the night by a ghost sporting a goatee and playing a banjo...You will have been visited by Burl Ives, who made a fortune singing that song
And if this ghost is accompanied by an evil looking man carrying a brief case....That will no doubt be the ghost of his lawyer.
Here is the "before" photo.
I held an Anaconda in Venezuela, and it seemed docile enough. I wouldn't sleep with one though.
