they Were Just A Soft, Ordinary Pair Of Thrift-shop Jeans Until Jamie Kelly Tried Them On . . . Then They Became A Tight, Scratchy, Slightly Smelly, And Utterly Ordinary Pair Of Thrift-shop Jeans With An Embarrassing Haunting Problem. Do The Pants Have The Power To Soothe A Vengeful Beagle, Vanquish The Prettiest Girl In The World, Or Make The Wearer Irresistible To The Eighth Cutest Guy In The Grade? Are The Haunted Pants So Dazzling They Can Hurt And Maybe Permanently Damage The Eyes Of Onlookers? Or Are The Haunted Pants Just, Well, Haunted (which Is Kind Of Gross When You Think About It)?
