The Ghosters gang is surprised when a Halloween haunted house is actually haunted.
Theresa and Kerry's drama class project is to turn an old abandoned house into a haunted house for Halloween as a fundraiser. Elbie and Joey, not wanting to miss out on the fun, volunteer to help. Ghosts and other scary things are their expertise, after all.
While turning the house into a spooky haunt with witches and ghouls and fun scares, they discover a ghost has followed them from Elbie's family mortuary. On top of that, they encounter a dark, menacing ghost in the basement. They find out that the ghost who had followed them had murdered his wife with a knife in that house and the murder weapon has never been found. Faced with a pair of ghosts and a missing knife, the gang needs to solve the spooky mystery before the haunted house is open to the public.
Pull away the cobwebs and join Elbie, Joey, Theresa, and Kerry as they pursue their most scary ghostly mystery yet.

Diana Corbitt is a retired elementary school teacher who has lived her entire life in northern California. She has two sons who, although grown up and out of the house, still live nearby. Ever since she was a kid she loved to be scared, either by movies or books. She started writing her first story in sixth grade. That one never got past six pages, but now that she’s retired she can’t stop writing. Her work has appeared in Bewildering Stories and Encounters Magazine. She had a podcast on Manor House and one of her short stories was published in an anthology entitled Wax and Wane: A Gathering of Witch Tales. When she’s not trying to scare herself silly, Diana enjoys working with stained glass, travel, and going to the movies. They don’t all have to be scary. Just not chick flicks.
