The Little Scottish Ghost by Franz Hohler

A not-so-scary ghost story about a little ghost who learns that she’s better at making people laugh out loud than faint from fear!

Little Ghost is learning how to haunt, but nothing goes right. Her ball and chain run away with her, her clanking armor falls on top of her, and instead of terrifying people, she just makes them laugh.

“You must go to the ghost of Whistlefield,” says Father Ghost. “If anyone can teach you to be scary, he can.”

When Little Ghost goes to Whistlefield, she sees the villagers shaking with fear as blood-curdling shrieks echo from the gloomy castle. But when Little Ghost arrives there, she does not find at all what she expected.
