Ghosts, goblins, witches, black cats and things that go thump in the night are all included in these spooky tales. Halloween. We go trick -or -treating. It is fun. BOO! -by Rhonda Stacey. Boo, boo, boo The goblin banged the ceiling. She lit her candle and went down stairs. Then the door opened. Boo boo boo - there was a ghost. -by Hadi Feltham. Haunted house Once upon a time I went trick or treating. I went into what you would call a haunted house. It was awful. Then I heard a rustling sound. It scared me. It seems like a ghost was there! -by Heather Bartlet. s y St®»� ; S Kendra Fry needed two pages to describe the sound of a branch hitting her bedroom window. Kendra did well describing her thoughts'and using clever description. She is a Grade 2 student from Holmesville Public School. ( Wendy Somerville Photo ) The mystery thump One dark and lonely night as I was dusting off my broomstick, I heard the strangest sound. Thump! thump! thump! I went upstairs. There was nothing there. I was afraid. Then I went in to my room. I heard the sound again. Thump! thump! thump! Looking out my window I saw an old branch hitting the side of the house. That was the end of the mystery. -by Kendra Fry. I'm not scared Halloween is scary but I dress as a clown - that doesn't scare you. We have fun on Steven McClinchey of Grade 2 realized that the only way he would get rid of a strange sound would be to offer whoever the culprit was, some candy as a peace offering. When he realized that the sound was a banging door, he naturally did the next best thing, he ate the candy! (Wendy Somerville Photo) A noisy door I was afraid so I went outside with a bag and I went to the store to get some candy. I went where I heard the noise to give the candy to what ever was there, but there was nothing there. So I ate the candy. The noise I heard was only the door blowing shut. -by Steven McClinchey. The sound of rustling feet was easily described by Heather Bartlet of Holmesville Public School. The Grade 2 student cleverly associated haunted houses and ghosts with an exciting evening of trick or treating. ( Wendy Somerville Photo) Halloween hiding One dark and lonely night as I was dusting off my broom stick I heard the strangest sound. Thump Thump. I thought it was a goblin. I was afraid so I ran up stairs, and hid under the bed. It came up stairs too and scared me. -by Shannon Schilbe.

Then I heard a rattle and I was afraid. It was a scary night. It was Halloween. -by Tyler White. The magic of Halloween By Helen Owen When witches ride their broomsticks, it is that special night And grinning pumpkin faces are lit with ghostly light. Then troops of costumed children make their way along the street Fairies and clowns and supermen are seek- ing 'trick or treat'. And those who once were children, (and did it all before) Await their little visitors when they come to the door For behind them, in the hallway, are the goodies all prepared The candy bars, and apples and cookies to be shared. There are skeletons and Pacmen, scarlet devils, ghosts in white All of whom collect their goodies - then are off into the night, Until at last with bags of treats, and tired and aching feet They scurry home, and once again, its quiet along the street. Maybe the witches then go home, riding aloft, serene Themselves bewitched by the magic spells of the night of Halloween.
