“Trick or treat!” Bess shouted as they kept running.

The girls clutched their trick-or-treat bags as they raced outside.

“Not only did Dr. Funk-n-Stine come back,” George said, catching her breath, “he brought his whole show, too!”

“Now do you believe in ghosts, Nancy?” Bess asked.

Nancy didn’t answer. As they waited for Mr. Drew to pick them up, she filled in her Ghosts column with the latest clues. Her No Ghosts column was totally blank.

Maybe Bess and George are right, Nancy thought. Maybe there are such things as ghosts.

For the rest of the day Nancy couldn’t think about anything else. As her dad tucked her into bed, she asked, “Daddy, do you believe in ghosts?”

“Only on Halloween,” Mr. Drew answered. “Why?”

Nancy sat straight up. She explained all the weird things the Clue Crew had found in Dudley’s studio—the music, the footprint, the licorice smell, and the spinning compass.

“Was there a lot of electrical equipment in the studio?” Mr. Drew asked. “Cables and wires on the floor?”

“Yes,” Nancy said.

“That might explain the compass,” Mr. Drew said. “Compasses pick up energy from surrounding power sources.”

“You think?” Nancy asked excitedly. She felt a little relieved.

“Pretty sure,” Mr. Drew said. He leaned over and kissed Nancy good night. Before he closed the door, Nancy’s Labrador puppy, Chocolate Chip, slipped into the room.

“You don’t have to guard my bed, Chip.” Nancy giggled. “I’m not that scared anymore.”

Nancy felt better as she switched off her lamp. If electricity made the compass needle spin, there had to an explanation for all those other things too.

She was about to snuggle under her quilt when she spotted something across her room—something green and glowing in the dark!
