My backyard is haunted. I don’t think you know how long I’ve been looking for. At least like a month, with no luck in the blazing sun. I was ready to give up but before that I also want to tell you how this even happened….

Last Wednesday, we were playing beach ball, and since it was hot, we went inside for ice cream. We left the beach ball on the grass. But all of my friends said it was too hot to go back. We went to my room and started to play with legos. We totally forgot about the beach ball.

After my friends left, I finally remembered thought of my beach ball so I ran to get it. But when I got there, it was gone…

Today, everything all of it changed, I finally found a clue on piece of paper that said:

“To do list: Play with beach ball.”

That’s when it caught my mind.

“Who wrote this?”

In the middle of my thinking, I saw a floating beach ball… But not just any beach ball! It was my beach ball!

So I ran to my room and got my Nerf gun out and then shot at the floating thing that seemed to be holding my ball.

It was wiggly and as it was about to blow away, my Nerf pellet went throw the monster. Then, I knew it was a ghost, so I ran. I yelled angrily, “Stop right there, Ghost!”

Then the ghost turned around and I said, “Give me the beach ball back!”

The ghost said, “Oh I am sorry. I did not mean to do that. I just wanted to play with it.”

“It’s okay,” I said. “You can have it if you want I just wanted to know where it went.”

“Oh thank you so much!” the ghost said.

In the end, the ghost and I had fun playing with the beach ball, and I even got to teach the ghost how to ride a bike and soon we became very good friends.
