Happy Halloween!

One of my favorite Halloween memories is when I took my little cousins Natalie, Gabbie, and Jo Jo trick-or-treating. I remember Jo Jo's adorable Spider-man outfit, and Gabbie and Natalie looked cute in their blue and pink princess costumes. They all had their pumpkin trick-or-treat baskets, and they where filling up fast. I took them to my grandmother's house last, because I knew that she had an extra special treat waiting for us. When I took them up the steps, my grandmother was already at the door with the kid's favorite treat of all- caramel apples! This sadly turned out to be the last Halloween my grandmother spent with us, which makes this memory especially special to me.

My favorite ghost story is actually what happened in my house, and was witnessed by me and my older sister Macy, so if you don't believe me, you can ask Macy about the parts she saw.

Macy and I were home alone and I was sitting in a recliner watching T.V. Macy was walking by the entrance to the room when she suddenly stopped and screamed. I looked at her, and paciently waited for her to stop. Macy then screamed at me that there was a little blond girl standing across the room from me, and watching us. She darted to the place in which she saw the girl, but of course, the girl wasn't there anymore. I told Macy that I didn't see anything, and that she was just trying to scare me. She repeatedly told me that she wasn't lying, and that she really saw a little girl. I dismissed this, and continued to watch my show.

By is time, Macy left the room, and I was all alone. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw something move, so I turned to look. In the dark corner right by me, there was a girl that looked about eight years old staring directly at me, and I saw that she had big, dark spots where her eyes should be, and she was wearing a night gown, like she was getting ready for bed. When I realized that I wasn't imagining it, I screamed for my sister. When I turned to look for Macy, I lost sight of the ghost girl, and with my knowledge of scary movies, I knew when I turned back to face the girl, she wouldn't be there anymore.

I really think that I saw the ghost girl, and so does Macy. Since that night, strange things have happened in my house, such as new light bulbs exploding as you walk into the room, a room gets unnaturally cold but the rest of the house is normal, a child's hand prints on things that can't be reached by children, lights turning on by themselves, and shadowy figures moving across the room though everyone there is still. Now that I know my house isn't exactly normal, I just need to find out why.

My three all- time favorite spooky jokes are the following:

Q: What kind of road does a ghost like best?
A: A dead end!

Q:What is a witch's favorite class?
A: Spelling!

Q:How much does a dead person weigh?
A: A skeleton!
