Ghost Stories Ideas For Halloween
Surely, you can recall several ghost stories from your childhood? Perhaps the one about how Ichabod Crane rode his horse through the whispering skeletal trees, racing from the Headless Horseman, or about the heart that pounded through the floorboards tormenting a man’s guilty conscience, or how the owner of the monkey’s paw learned the “be careful what you wish for” lesson. These stories that sent shivers down our spines and kept us awake at nights have been passed down for generations now, enthralling and delighting children, filling them with the spirit of Halloween and the ghosts of the past.
If you have little ones, then you’ll want to get them in the mood for Halloween fun, yet you don’t want to scare them silly with stories about ghosts. Theatrical storyteller Mary Jo Maichack plays guitar and fiddle on her audio CD, while combining folklore and “howlarious” Halloween jokes. She’ll offer kids a variety of voices, from a Hungarian ghost to a goofy vampire to comprise a funny version of Halloween. The “Ghosthunters series,” by Cornelia Funke, combines humor, illustrations and gross stuff for seven-to-nine-year-olds to enjoy.
“Fungus the Bogeyman,” by Raymond Briggs, is a good picture book stuffed with puns and illustrations that’ll have your little ones roaring with laughter as they follow a monster through his daily routine. “It’s Halloween!,” by Jack Prelutsky, includes thirteen separate poems about Halloween and isn’t really a ghost story, but will certainly gets the kids in the mood. There is also a great collection of audio books and stories at www.surfnetkids.com/audiobooks/short_stories/ that may be suitable for your children.
