Lucy Lou’s Ghost Secret

Illustrated by: Jan Michael Vincent Sy

Lucy Lou lived with her mama, Etha, in an old country house. The house had two large bedrooms and a large kitchen. It had a front porch that covered the entire front of the house.

Lucy Lou was sleeping comfortably in her bed when her mother awakened her. Wake up baby, there’s a ghost in the house, she said. Lets go over to Nezzie’s and spend the night.

Lucy Lou thought to herself, This is the fourth time we have left home because mother keeps seeing the ghost. Mother said she had seen the ghost again that it was always hanging from the ceiling and that the ghost always wore a white dress.

So Lucy Lou’s mother took her by the hand and away they went down the road to Nezzie’s house.

She and her mother had to cross a branch on a log to get to Nezzie’s house. It was the fall of the year and the leaves had begun to fall. The days were still warm, but the nights were cool. The moon and the stars in the sky seemed to guide them as they went across the field to Nezzie’s house. And even though the moon and the stars were giving light, they could still see the fireflies. They were lined up in a straight line, like a marching band.

In order to get to Nezzie’s house, they had to go over a branch. The branch was about six feet deep.
