quote:
You do as the ghost says. You wait at the edge of the graveyard until he stops at a grave. Then you watch as his whole airy body seems to disappear into the ground!
Okay, you think. This is it. Time to walk over there and stand on that grave.
You gulp loudly. You scratch your head. You burp.
Hey - enough stalling. Get over there!
Your legs tremble as you walk to the grave and peer at the headstone. Then, still shaking, you stand on the grave. The tombstone says JAMES T. REDDSON III. 1875-1910.
Hmmm. You do some quick math, and realize this guy was thirty-five when he died. This can't be the kid's grave, you realize. He lied to you!
Before you can figure out what you should do, you hear a terrible rumbling. You fling out your arms, trying desperately to keep your balance as the ground begins to shake. The earth all around you rises and rolls in waves. Your eyes open wide as you watch the ground beneath your feet break apart.
Get me out of here, you think. But you're too late.
A hand - the ghost-boy's hand! - suddenly pops up out of the dirt and grabs your ankle!
quote:
The ghost-boy grips your ankle so hard, you think he might break your bones.
You try to yank your leg away, but it's no use. The ghost-boy won't let go. And he's strong. Super strong.
Oh, no! you realize. He's not just holding on to your ankle. He's pulling you right into the ground with him!
He's pulling you down into the grave beneath your feet!
quote:
"Aaaahhhh!" you scream as you feel yourself being pulled into the ground.
You can't believe it, but it's true. Somehow, magically, you are being pulled underground, as if your own body were made of filmy air, like the ghost's.
It hurts. In fact, your whole body aches as it is dragged right into the ground. But only for an instant. Then you feel nothing.
You close your eyes. When you open them, you're lying in a coffin - on top of a pile of old rotted clothes and bones!
Your heart starts pounding wildly. You want to scream, but you don't dare. You can already sense that the coffin has very little air.
And you don't dare use it up. Not when you know that you're in an old coffin... six feet underground... with no way out.
You're buried alive!
quote:
You start to panic. The coffin feels - crowded. You try to sit up, but you bump your head. Ouch.
Uh-oh. Was that... something moving?
What is it? you wonder. Your heart races. Snakes? Worms? Rats?
Something bumps your knee. You start banging on the coffin lid, trying to get out.
"Hey - hold still," a voice says.
Slowly, the ghost-boy begins to materialize. He is squeezed in beside you. The coffin is so crowded now, you can hardly move.
"Take my hand," the ghost-boy says. "Time to continue the journey."
You stare at the ghost's outstretched hand.
If you take the ghost-boy's hand, go to PAGE 82.
If you don't, turn to PAGE 98.

quote:
You take the ghost-boy's hand.
As soon as you touch him, a chill runs through you. His hand feels like ice.
"Hold on," he says. "Here we go!"
Before you know what's happening, he starts to move away - floating sideways. His thin transparent body is floating right through the coffin - and he's taking you with him!
BOOM!
Inside your head, you hear the sound of fireworks. You close your eyes and see fireworks, too! At the same time, you feel your body being pulled through the coffin walls.
When the fireworks stop, you slowly open your eyes.
You instantly wish you hadn't.
You are lying on a dirt floor. Over your head is a dirt ceiling. The cave-like room is filled with an eerie green light. Stairways leading nowhere are covered in plush carpeting. Cobwebs drip from furniture. Laughs and moans echo all around you.
But the worst news is - you are surrounded by ghosts. That's right, you are in an underground world of living dead people. All of them floating around. Some dance, some play games, some wander aimlessly. But all of them are, well, dead.
quote:
"Where are we?" you ask the ghost-boy.
"Oh..." he says. "You know."
No, you think. I don't.
You pass an elaborate gold-framed mirror hanging in midair. You look at your reflection. And gasp!
Your legs! Your arms! They're gone! You stare at the "you" in the mirror. You can see the furniture behind you - right through your own body!
Maybe it's a trick mirror! You glance down at yourself. It's no trick. Your legs are transparent.
Your heart drops into your see-through feet as you realize the truth. You're a ghost, now, too!
Someone suddenly calls your name. You whirl around - and see your old piano teacher. Mrs. Hatfield. She was a sweet old lady, about ninety years old. She died last year. You have to admit you haven't missed her much. You never liked taking piano lessons.
"Oh, there you are!" Mrs. Hatfield exclaims. "Come with me. I want you to play some scales."
If you go with Mrs. Hatfield, turn to PAGE 10.
If you refuse, turn to PAGE 87.

quote:
You don't exactly feel like practicing the piano right now. But you decide to be nice to this old woman. You go with her, and she leads you to a fancy old grand piano.
She sits you down and turns on a metronome.
TICK. TOCK. TICK. TOCK.
"Now play a G-major scale for me," she says.
For the next half-hour, you take a piano lesson. With a ghost! When you're done, Mrs. Hatfield smiles.
"Remember how I always used to give you a treat at the end of your lesson?" she says. "Well, I have a treat for you now."
"What's this?" you ask as she hands you a piece of paper.
"It's a map of my backyard," she says. "You see, I buried a lot of golld out under the apple tree. And I forgot to mention it in my will. So no one knows it's there. I want you to have it - as a reward for being so nice to me today. For letting me give you a piano lesson one more time."
"Uh, bu-duh... but... wow, thanks!" you mumble like an idiot.
Then it hits you. What good will the gold do you - if you're a ghost?
quote:
"I know what you're thinking," Mrs. Hatfield says. "You're afraid you can't get to the gold, now that you're here, with us."
You nod.
"But don't worry," she says. "You didn't come here the... the regular way. So you can go back to the world of the living anytime you want."
Your eyes light up. "I can?" you say. "How?"
"Oh, it's easy," Mrs. Hatfield says. "Didn't you ever see The Wizard of Oz?"
Huh?
"You know," she goes on. "all you have to do is click your heels together three times and say 'There's no place like home.' It worked in the movie. It should work here, too."
Is she kidding? Well, what have you got to lose?
So, you give it a try. You click your sneakers together three times and say, "There's no place like home." When you open your eyes again, you're in your own bed at home.
With the map in your hand!
Hey. Your mom always said those piano lessons would pay off someday, didn't she? Looks like she was right!

quote:
You decide not to follow the ghost into the cemetery.
Why should I? you think. Just because I promised him I would?
You feel a little guilty about breaking your promise.
But as soon as the ghost disappears into the grave, you turn and run as fast as you can. All the way back home.
And you know what happens next?
Nothing.
That's right. Nothing. And you never see another ghost again, as long as you live.
Years later, you tell your children all about your grandmother's haunted house. About how a ghost followed you home. And haunted your best friend's brother's party. And you promised to follow him into the graveyard the next day, but didn't do it.
Your children think you're making it up, of course. But you know the truth.
Because every time you walk past a graveyard, you hear voices calling you. Accusing you. The voices of the ghost-boy and all his ghost friends. "Yooooooou," they call. "Yooooou lied!"

No way. You're not going to practice your piano now.
"No, thanks," you tell Mrs. Hatfield. "I never liked piano lessons. And now that I'm a ghost, I'm never going to practice again!"
Mrs. Hatfield looks around at the other ghosts. They all smile and nod. Then she breaks into a huge grin.
"Good!" Mrs. Hatfield says. "You passed the test!"
"What test?" you ask, feeling confused.
"You never were any good on that piano," she says. "In fact, you were simply terrible. I just wanted to be sure you didn't waste any more time with it. The world has enough bad musicians. It doesn't need another one."
Hmmph! you think. But you know she's right.
"Okay," Mrs. Hatfield says, motioning to the ghost-boy. "You can take this one back."
Before you know what's happening, the ghost-boy pulls your hand again. This time, he drags you toward the mirror - and right into it. You close your eyes, and once again you hear fireworks. But halfway through the journey, he lets go of your hand.
When you open your eyes, you are standing all alone in the cemetery. And you know you have finally come to

"No," you tell the ghost. "I've kept my promise. And look where it got me!"
"Suit yourself," the ghost-boy says. He vanishes.
So, now what are you going to do, huh? Just lie there in the coffin and rot?
That's one choice.
Got any other ideas?
Okay, sure. You could start screaming at the top of your lungs. Maybe - just maybe - someone will hear you.
Like who?
Like the cemetery caretaker. He shows up once a week. On Fridays.
Well? What day is this?
If you are reading this on Friday, turn to PAGE 13.
If you are not reading this on Friday, turn to PAGE 107.
quote:
Today is Friday.
So you think it's your lucky day, huh? You think the caretaker is going to come and get you out of that coffin?
Think again. Today is Friday the 13th!
If you don't believe it, just look at the page number!
Sure, the caretaker comes. But he has an ear infection. He can't hear you screaming. And by the time he comes again next week, you're not screaming anymore.
Sorry. Guess this wasn't your lucky day after all!
