Chapter 1
Do you believe in ghosts? Ghosts live everywhere and they are invisible. Well, let me tell you
what ___________(happen) to me last year. I _________ (sleep) soundly in my warm, cosy
bed. when all of a sudden I _______ (hear) a strange sound. What_______ (be) that? I
_______ (be) scared. Maybe it was my dog, Morty making that noise. But no, Morty
_______ (lie) tight outside my bedroom door on his favourite rug. He _______ even
_________ (snore) loudly. Someone _________ (knock) on the front door!
Chapter 2
But it _______ (not/be) the right time. I ________ (start) to shiver and I ______ (see) a flash
of light outside. It _______ (not /rain) at the moment, so it couldn’t be a thunder storm.
Now I ______ (shake) in terror. Ghosts _______ (never/show up) at my house. This is crazy!
It was 3 o’clock in the morning. Who was at the front door, I wondered? Ok let’s think
straight. Ghosts ______ (not/exist) in real life. Ghosts _____ (live) only n stories. They
______ (haunt) castles, but they _____ (not/appear) in real people’s house. They _____
(not/make) noise now. I hope.
Chapter 3
The night was very dark. Oh no! someone or something ______ (moan) downstairs while
_____ (drag) a chain around the living room. It must be a ghost! No, impossible. And what
was that? The dogs outside _______ (howl) and then I ______ (see) something move in
front of me. A voice ____ (say) : Don’t be scared. I think I _________ (imagine) things at the
moment. The wind. I _____ (go) back to bed right now and I am going to hide under the
covers. There is nothing to be afraid of. This is not real.
Chapter 4
Calm down! Now I ______ (remember) a scary story the teacher ______ (read) to us in
school yesterday. It was all about ghosts and goblins. So I am dreaming about that ghost
story-this isn’t real. However, the strange noises continued. Ok, so something _____ (go) on
at the moment. Then my mother suddenly ______ (come) into my bedroom, both of us
_____ (hear) the sound of dragging chains and ghostly moans again and _____ (see) flashes
of lightning in the sky. We both _______ (scream) loudly. I almost _____ (jump) out of my
skin. And then I ______ (wake) up-it ____ (be) only a nightmare! Whew!
