anyone else home?" Doc asked the
homeowner.
    "No, my wife's at work and we have no kids,"
the homeowner replied.
    Excited to have his first opportunity to
confront an alleged ghostly spirit, Doc walked to the bottom of the
stairs.
    "Come on! You can do better than that you
lousy ghost!" Doc yelled up the stairwell.
    "Doc, I wouldn't do that if I were you," the
paranormal team leader advised. Doc ignored him. Instead, he
stepped up onto the bottom step.
    "If you're really a ghost, why don't you show
us what you can do, you lousy, no-good prankster!" Doc yelled.
    At that very moment, his pants flew down
around his ankles. The homeowner and the team leader burst into
laughter as Doc, terrified, struggled to pull his pants back up. He
then stumbled as fast as he could out the front door of the house.
He refused to re-enter the house or to talk about the episode ever
again. However, the episode went down in the records as one of the
most humorous moments the paranormal team had ever witnessed in a
haunted home.

Chapter 16 - Spell check
     

     
    B rad and Jeff had a
tough week at school. They both had a pop quiz in science and had
not done well. Their parents would find out next week when school
progress reports were due to go home. They knew that they were
doomed to weeks of extra study time and that any fun stuff would be
severely curtailed. Since it was Friday night the two boys knew
that this might be their only chance to get out and do something
fun. They both wanted to see the new horror movie at the theater
and they both liked seeing other people get scared so they decided
to go to the movies.
    The movie was great. All the girls screamed
every few minutes and everybody jumped in their seats more than
once. All they could talk about, as they left the theater, were the
neat scary parts of the movie. As they followed the path home, they
were about to pass the old Hollingsworth Cemetery when, just for
laughs, the boys dared each other to take the short cut through
it.
    The old graveyard was a scary place. There
were a lot of criminals buried there from the penitentiary just
over the hill. They even said that it was haunted by ghosts.
    Right in the middle of the dark and creepy
cemetery, the boys were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming
from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they headed towards
the noise since there was no way around it and soon found an old
man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the
headstones. "Holy cow, Mister," Brad said after catching his
breath, "You scared us half to death -- we thought you were a
ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?"
    "Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They
misspelled my name!"

Chapter 17 - A boy’s best friend
forever
     

     
    I t was a beautiful
sunny fall Saturday. The air was crisp with fluffy clouds and the
sky was bright blue. My Mom and Dad told me to load up into the car
because we were going to take a little ride. We drove for about a
half hour when Dad pulled the car into a dusty parking lot. Looking
out the window, I could tell it was a big flea market. Dad and Mom
said we were just going to look around for a few minutes. I had
never been to a flea market before so I looked forward to seeing
what was there.
    I was having a great time. There were all
sorts of booths, with all sorts of stuff that people were trying to
sell. We kept moving through the covered sheds when we happened
into an area where they were selling pets. There were all sorts of
cats and dogs, lizards, birds, turtles, hamsters and such. We
stopped at one booth where the man was selling a litter of Labrador
puppies. He had two cages with several puppies that were black and
chocolate in color in one cage and another cage which housed just
one white puppy. I had always wanted a dog. Mom and Dad talked to
the man at the booth and then talked to each other and then the
next thing I knew the puppy was in my arms and we
