The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost. ↗

I think that the joke and the ghost story both have a similar set up in that you kind of set something up and pay it off with a laugh or a scare. ↗
