The Clumsy Ghost and Other Spooky Tales

Jessiman, Alastair, and others. The Clumsy Ghost and Other Spooky Tales. 2011. 151 mins. ISBN 9781843795049. 


Ghost stories are as old as time. Told to entertain us, to spook us, and often time to teach us a lesson, In this short audiobook, seven stories of haunting present frightful and no-so-scary tales. A man who was clumsy in life died when he tripped over an empty bag of chips and fell in front of a moving bus. As a ghost, he chose to haunt a dilapidated mansion. Wanting to be helpful, he tries to assist the family who lives there, but is clumsy enough that his efforts instead are perceived as malevolent. His presence, however, soon attracts visitors, and the money from tickets helps restoring the house to its former glory.

Other stories present locations as exotic as ancient Egypt, where sons of Ramses hunt for a powerful item in a tomb, and a pirate ship that stalled out at sea, with no winds and no hope. Fans of spooky stories will enjoy this light-hearted yet frightening collection of ghost tales.
