The Mystery of the Ghost

as told to me by Gus

In a haunted mansion in Transylvania, on a Thursday, in March, there was a weird sound. It was a ghost.

“What an emergency!” one of the people shouted.

First, it threw a rock. The rock was almost thrown into deep space. It wasn’t like it was elementary or something, but the ghost said, “WOOOOOOO!”

“One North America…two North America…” said a voice.

“What was that?” said another voice.

Then another voice went, “Ya ya ya! Ya ya ya!” That was just a bunch of people in daycare. The ghost got confused and went back into the grave until all that, “Ya ya ya! Ya ya ya!” stopped.

The End

P.S. Have you seen Transylvania?

My son, budding mystery/suspense author…or comedian. I swear, I did not change a single word. I’m struck by the fact that the ghost didn’t like noise, and also very amused by the opening line. If only I could remember to have that level of specificity in my own fiction…

Anyway, try having your kids make up some ghost stories & let us know how it works out! Happy Monday, y’all!

This is such a neat story he made! I think he will be a great writer someday! A satire probably? Hahahaha! I love the story really!

Thanks for dropping by my blog by the way and yeah you are lucky you already have your second child before you knew.

I believe that your son has a definite career ahead of himself!

As for ghosts not liking noise, I think I can understand that as they are trying to take their ‘big dirt nap’ as my father used to call it!

A good, creative imagination there.

Now that is a truly budding talent with a great imagination. You are lucky to have years of great stories ahead.

Thanks for sharing! Gus has such a vivid imagination. I was very entertained by the story it reminded me that sometime people need a taste of their own medicine. We encounter many ghosts in our lives and sometimes we just have to scare them back!
