Dare to Read It!: Moving Into a Haunted House

Richard and his little brother, Jeff, are very excited about moving into their new house with their family. Everything about the house seems great ... until things start getting creepy. As the days go by, Richard begins to notice more and more strange things. At first he believes Jeff has simply become more of a prankster, teasing his brother from the shadows and making Richard think he's seeing ghosts. But things are getting worse, and it can't all be blamed on Jeff. As the oddities begin to escalate, Richard tries to tell his parents he believes there may be something wrong with the house. They don't listen to him, however, and the strange happenings continue. With his parents' reassurance, Richard begins to doubt that there are ghosts in his new house after all. His doubt is short-lived, however, for his suspicions are soon proven correct when he notices a girl he's never seen before in a family photograph taken in the house. Can this be the ghost-the cause of all his bad luck? And if so, how can he get rid of her?
