Last Halloween, I went trick or treating with my friends. Everyone gave us yummy treats. I said we’d go to one more house. I knocked on the dilapidated blue door. “Trick or treat!” we all shouted. “Go away,” an old man said. As the door slammed, I knew something was up, I decided to investigate. Next day, I tiptoed into his yard and looked through the dirty window. He was in there washing dishes. I swiftly ducked my head. Suddenly I heard something behind me, it was a ghost! I got up and sprinted down the lane. Now I know why everyone says that house is haunted.

Hi Katie, I enjoyed reading our spooky story. You had some good vocab, such as dilapidated. Next time you could try using different senses in your description such as smell, sound, and touch, to help create atmosphere in your story. It was a great Halloween read. Keep up the great work.
