Wimpy Ghosts


By Mrs. Stultz and Miss Sullivan's Class



     Once upon a time there was a haunted house. In this house lived some strong and scary ghosts! However, there were three wimpy ghosts. The wimpy ghosts were scared of anything! They were even frightened of a little worm. When people came into the haunted house, instead of being scared of the ghosts, the ghosts were scared of the people!





     The strong ghosts made fun of the wimpy ones because they just weren't creepy enough. The strong ghosts would jump out and say "Boo!" and the wimpy ghosts would run out and cry "Wah Wah!" The wimpy ghosts were sad because they couldn't scare anyone no matter how hard they tried.


     When the strong ghosts made fun of the wimpy ones, the wimpy ghosts would run and hide. One day as they were hiding, the ghosts decided that they had had enough! They needed to come up with some way of being scary.





     One small ghost said, "I have an idea! Why don't we hide behind the door? Then, when the strong ghosts come, we can jump out and scare them!"

     So the wimpy ghosts tried it. They hid and waited for the strong ghosts to walk by. When they jumped out to scare them.... PLOP! One ghost tripped and fell, and his head went right through the floor! The strong ghosts just laughed. "You will never be as scary as us!" they teased.


     The next day, another small ghost came up with a new idea. "Maybe we could stuff pillows under our sleeves and make our arms look big and strong. That will scare people away!"




     The three small ghosts shoved large, fluffy pillows under their sleeves until they could barely even move their arms! Then, they slowly walked out to the center of the house where the strong ghosts played peek-a-BOO! At first, the strong ghosts looked surprised and a little scared, until...

... one pillow fell out of a small ghost's sleeve!

Again, the strong ghosts pointed and laughed. "Get out of here!" they shouted, "you are the wimpiest ghosts we have ever seen!"


     Finally, the very smallest ghost had an idea.

"We are not big and strong, and there isn't much we can do to change that. What we can do is turn invisible! Let's make ourselves invisible and scare all the other ghosts!"

     The other wimpy ghosts liked this idea.




     The small ghosts turned invisible and went outside. They began picking up tables and chairs, carrying them around, and rattling windows! Nobody knew where the noise was coming from or how the furniture was moving around. Everyone was scared, even the strong ghosts! An old lady screamed and ran away.

     After this day, nobody called the three ghosts wimpy anymore. Instead, they were known as the invisible ghosts of terror!
