A Scary Story Suggestion for Halloween

If you are holding a Halloween party this weekend and are looking for ideas for sharing some scary Halloween stories I've added a suggestion below.

Hannah and Jane were hanging more spider web decorations in the sitting room when Mum came in. "You better hurry up and finish girls. Aunty Pat will be here soon with Harry and Alice, and your party starts in an hour. Where's your brother?"

Joe was upstairs looking for his microphone. He wanted to hide and make scary noises and scare his sisters. Joe looked everywhere for his microphone but he couldn't find it

"I bet Hannah used it so she could watch herself singing in the mirror" Joe thought to himself. So he went into Hannah's bedroom to try and find his microphone. Joe looked under Hannah's bed and in her wardrobe but he couldn't find it anywhere. He went over to her chest of drawers to look in there but as he reached for the drawer knob something brushed across his hand.

"What was that?" Joe shouted out loud. The drawer's knob was all green and gooey. Then he felt something brush against his shoulder.

Joe turned around quickly and shouted "Who's there?" but no-one was behind him. Joe was starting to get scared and wished he hadn't come into Hannah's room at all. It was getting dark outside and it was almost time for the party. Joe ran out of Hannah's bedroom and moved quickly across the hallway to Jane's room.

He decided to have a quick look for his microphone in Jane's room but as he moved towards the door he heard scratching noises and small moaning sounds. Joe didn't like the sounds coming from Jane's room at all and was starting to think maybe they had a ghost for real.

Joe ran downstairs and into the living room. "We've got a ghost upstairs!" he shouted out when he saw his sisters.

"Don't be silly Joe," said Jane, who was the eldest and always very sensible. "There are no ghosts in this house."

"There are," insisted Joe. "I saw it upstairs."

"Where?" asked Jane.

"In Hannah's room," explained Joe.

"What were you doing in my room Joe?" asked Hannah. "I'm going to tell Mum," and Hannah stomped off to the kitchen to tell her Mum that Joe had been in her room.

"Mum!!" Hannah shouted, but Mum wasn't in the kitchen.

"Mum!!" Hannah shouted up the stairway. But Mum wasn't upstairs either.

Hannah ran back into the sitting room where Jane and Joe were arguing about whether there was a ghost in their house or not.

"I can't find Mum," Hannah said. "Where could she be?"

"Maybe the ghost has took her," said Joe.

Jane decided to end Joe's ghost story once and for all. "Come on!" she called as she walked out of the room.

"Where are we going?" asked Joe and Hannah.

"We're going to see about this ghost, and then maybe we can stop talking about it," Jane explained.

As they got to the bottom of the stairs Joe looked up and saw something white move across the landing. "Look!!" shouted Joe.

Hannah and Jane both looked up but didn't see anything. "I just saw it. I promise I did!" Joe cried out. Hannah and Jane both looked at each other nervously.

"Come on," Jane whispered and very carefully they all started walking up the stairs.

As they reached the top Jane put her finger to her lips, "Shhh" she said. "Do you hear that?"

Hannah, Joe and Jane all stood at the top of the stairs listening. They could hear the scraping and faint moaning noise coming from Jane's bedroom. "See!!!" Joe whispered, "I told you!"

"Shhh," Jane insisted again. "Come on!" and all three of them moved quietly into the hallway. Jane opened Hannah's door and looked into her bedroom. "It looks okay in here" she said to the other two.

"I saw gooey stuff on Hannah's drawer, see if it's still there," Joe said. Jane walked over to Hannah's drawer and as she was about to put her hand on the drawer knob she felt something brush against her hair. "Aarrghhh!!" she screamed. Joe and Hannah ran into the room to see what had happened and saw Jane shaking her head and grabbing at something above her.

"What are you doing?" asked Joe.

"It's cobwebs," explained Jane. "Someone's put them up here too. See, it wasn't a ghost." But as she said that there was a bang in the hallway and they ran out to see a book in the middle of the floor.

"Mum!" Jane shouted "Is that you?" But there was no reply.

"I told you something spooky is going on," groaned Joe.

"I'm scared," said Hannah.

"Let's go back downstairs," Jane suggested. They tiptoed back down the landing toward the stairs, all holding onto each other. As they passed the bathroom door it sounded like someone was knocking on the door. They all froze as the door slowly creaked open.

"Who's there?" shouted Jane.

There was no answer. Jane, Hannah and Joe all looked at each other again. They were afraid to move but they were also afraid to stay on the landing in case they saw the ghost. "Hello?" Jane shouted out again.

As they stood trembling, wondering whether they should move or not they heard the door to Jane's room start to open. As they turned to see who was at the door a figure jumped out at them.

"Boo!!" shouted Harry, as he appeared in the doorway of the bathroom.

And then, "Raaaarrrr!!" shouted Alice as she jumped out from Jane's room.

Jane, Hannah and Joe all screamed as Harry and Alice started laughing. "We got you!" they shouted triumphantly.

"You big meanies," Hannah cried. "We were all really scared."

"I told you I'd scare you today Joe," Harry laughed.

"Where's Mum and Aunty Pat?" Jane asked.

"They're out in the shed looking for last year's lights," explained Alice.

The doorbell rang and Hannah ran downstairs to answer the door. Their party guests had started arriving. "We'll get you back next time," Jane warned as they went to get the party started.
