The Ghost Hunt Story Sample

Some time after our first ghost incident, Alex and I were walking to the kitchen to eat breakfast.  When suddenly, we both saw a ghost in a white sheet eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Alex and I wondered who this ghost might be.  When the ghost was done eating, he came off the chair and started floating across the room to the door that lead to the backyard without noticing us. We bent down to hope we’d find a pair of feet under the white sheet. But there were no feet to be found.  This thing was really floating!

We rubbed our eyes hoping we were only dreaming.  But once we finished, the ghost had already gone through (literally) the door  that led to the back yard.  The ghost had just disappeared of sight. 

“I think we’re only dreaming,” Alex said.   

“Well, I’m not certain about that,” I replied.  “Let’s catch that ghost.  Then, let’s find out who’s trying to scare us.”  And she started walking to the backdoor. 

“Wait a minute,” I said.  “Shouldn’t we get some energy before we try to solve this mystery?  I’ll get the cereals.” 

           As we ate our cereal, I tried to figure out who was that ghost.  But I still remembered when the ghost went through the door.  Could it just be an illusion?  The only way to find out was to get that ghost. 

        After we ate our cereal, we were at the door with our nets, and bringing all of our courage together.  After we did that, we slowly opened the door, ready to catch the ghostly thing. 

What we saw was very unusual.  We saw the ghost, swinging on the swing.  He did not see us, so we crawled to him.   

        “Ready,” I whispered to Alex.  “Set, Go!”
