★ Today, we are going to visit a haunted house. When we open the door we hear rustling and we scream as a bat flies over our heads, out into the dark. We have a look around the house and find a coffin, as we open it, a mummy jumps out of it and chases us! When we stop, it’s my older brother, Jason, teasing us!
★ Me and my friend are going ghost hunting in the woods! The woods are very dark, and lots of the trees have lost all of their leaves so they look bare and scary. Behind a tree I can see some spooky eyes looking at us, when we get closer, out jumps a giggly ghost in a witch’s hat!
