The Haunted Ghost: A 15-Minute Ghost Story, Educational Version

By Caitlind L. Alexander

"Ah, this one was going to be easy," Martin thought to himself. "A single woman living alone."
He had haunted families, bachelors, and old maids before. None of them lasted more than a week. He had his favorites, of course.
There was the young lad whose family refused to believe he had seen a ghost! They kept hollering at him and insisting there was no such thing when he was right there behind them the whole time, plain as day! When they finally turned around, their jaws dropped. All he had to do was utter a simple "Boo" and they ran screaming in terror from the house. They even left all their things behind.
Not that he had any use for them, but it was a nice gesture, he thought. Gave him something else to throw at people who moved in. He didn't like throwing his own things. After all, they were his prized possessions. He had had them in the house when he lived there. And he still lived there, just not in an earthly form.

Find out what happens to the new owner of this haunted house in this short by creepy tale.

Funny story. I liked making words as one of my two exercises at the end.
