The Night of the Scary Ghost
Last night, I had a very strange
dream. I was sleeping in my cozy
bed, wrapped in warm blankets, when suddenly, I heard a loud creaking sound from the hallway. My heart started beating fast. I looked around, but everything seemed normal—until I saw it.
A
ghost appeared at the foot of my bed! It was translucent, with glowing eyes and long, floating arms. The
ghost was wearing an old nightgown and had a sad expression on its face. I was so
frightened that I couldn’t move at first. Then, I remembered the rule: *If you see a ghost, don’t panic!* But this wasn’t easy!
I
screamed as loudly as I could, “Help! There’s a ghost in my room!” I didn’t wait to see what would happen next—I
ran out of my room and down the hall, slamming the door behind me. I hid under the stairs, peeking through the cracks.
After a few minutes, I slowly crept back into my room. The
ghost was gone. But then I noticed something odd—the
house smelled like cinnamon and old books. I realized the
ghost might not have been scary after all. Maybe it was just lost and looking for someone?
The next morning, I told my parents about the dream. They laughed and said it was probably just my imagination. But I still keep a flashlight under my pillow—just in case another
scary guest visits again!
