Random ghost story thought while doing research

Random

This post is non-serious but I find it so funny

So i have been doing research about some of the ghost stories in downtown Delano district and realized something extremely funny though I dont know if its just me. But there are two urban ghost stories that are from the same time periods from the same localized areas that would, if they where real, have constant beef with eachother and I am now just FACINATED.

If you're familiar with some of the supposed ghost stories from the wichita area, then the Eaton Place hotel might as well have a ghost buster on standby. Because there are two ghosts that are kinda known there and I cant stop thinking about how silly if they where real an interaction would be.

The first one is The Blue Handkerchief ghost, who haunts the second and third floors of the old hotel. She supposedly was thrown out a window of the third story floor by a possible lover and now haunts the hotel. She is said to have a fondness for anything rose-colored and items that are red or pink often go missing in the hotel. Lipstick, clothes, ect. A harmless but creepy ghost.

The second one is Carrie Nation, who back in the 1900s was a pretty famous activist for prohibition, who actually patrolled the downtown area with a hatchet, destroyed pubs and bars, while reciting bible stories. The Eaton Place actually being one of her old targets. After her death her ghost is still said to haunt the downtown areas, and its considered a bad idea to bring alchohol on certain streets cause she will litterally slap the alchohol out of your hands with a gust of wind or an unknown force. One of her many areas she is supposedly known to frequent is the Eaton Place...

I think its just my brain being silly, but how has no one made a comedic story about how these two would interact? i have for the last few houes laughing at the idea of a beautiful young lady ghost, holding stolen pink things, arguing with an old lady ghost holding a hatchet outside her window.
