“Still, some people don’t hear them. It’s only if you’re scared of ghosts. You’re not, are you?”

“Me?” said Bella. “Course not.”

“That’s OK then. Sweet dreams!”

Bertie closed his door and smiled to himself. That ought to do it, he thought.

Eleven o’clock. Bella was tossing and turning in her bed. She couldn’t sleep. Her mattress was too lumpy. The room was too dark. Worst of all, she kept imagining she heard strange noises. Of course Bertie had been making it up. Suzy said he was. There was no such thing as ghosts.

CREAK, CREAK, CREAK!

What was that? Bella held her breath.

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!

It sounded like footsteps on the landing. Bella gripped the covers tightly.

“Suzy?” she hissed. “Suzy. Are you awake?”

There was no answer from the Z bed. RATTLE, RATTLE! went the door handle.

“EEEEEEEEEHHH!” went the door as it swung open by itself.

“Help!” whimpered Bella, diving under the covers. “Who’s there?”

She peeped out. There it was! A ghost stumbling through the dark towards her.

“Woooooooh!” it moaned. “Woooooooh!”

“Suzy,” croaked Bella. “Suzy, wake up!”

“Wooooooooh,” moaned the ghost.

Closer and closer it came. Bella could see its bare white feet.
