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.

Download or read book The Cemetery Ghost A Scary15 Minute Ghost Story for Brave Souls written by Caitlind L. Alexander and published by Learning Island. This book was released on with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was driving down a nearly deserted road. It was a shortcut I often took to get home from town. I’m not sure it was any shorter, but it was definitely quieter. A lot fewer cars came this way. Perhaps it was because most of the houses weren’t out this direction. Maybe it was even because of the cemetery. I actually liked going by the cemetery. This was one of those older ones that had character, not just a bunch of the same plaques over and over. Some of these graves had statues of angels watching over them. Some had boxes above ground. There were even two mausoleums, on in the corner near a front gate, and one way back in the far corner. I was glancing at the graveyard when it happened. I’m not sure if I hit a slick bit of mud, some oil on the road, or what. It might have been that there was just way too much rain for my tires to get a good grip. Anyway, I felt the steering wheel being wrenched from my hands.
