very short ghost stories

Yes, they can be. Ghost stories often play on our fears of the unknown, and in this book, they might be especially spooky. The short format allows for quick jolts of fear.

Once, in an old house, a girl heard a soft whisper. She turned, but no one was there. Only cold air.

A woman woke in the night to see a figure at the foot of her bed. She blinked and it was gone. But then she felt a cold hand on her ankle.

One Christmas Eve, a child saw a ghostly figure in the attic. It vanished when the bells rang.

Once upon a time, a ghost tried to scare a cat. But the cat just yawned and walked away. The ghost was so offended that it vanished immediately.

They are short and to the point. For example, it might just be a quick encounter like seeing a strange glow or hearing an unexplained noise.

At a campfire, a girl heard a faint whisper. Looking around, she saw a shadowy face in the trees. It disappeared as quickly as it came. She never went camping there again.

A ghost was trying to be scary. It went 'Boo!' But the cat just yawned and walked away. The ghost was so offended it never haunted that house again.
