Once upon a time, in a small town called Spookville, there was a spooky old house at the end of the street. It was Halloween night, and all the kids were excited to go trick-or-treating. But they were also a little scared of the haunted house. No one had ever gone inside because they said it was filled with ghosts and monsters.

One brave girl named Lily decided she wanted to find out if the haunted house was really as scary as everyone said. She gathered her friends, Jack and Emily, and they made their way to the spooky house. The moon was full, casting eerie shadows on the old, creaky porch.

As they stepped inside, the door creaked loudly. The house was dark and dusty, with cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. Suddenly, they heard a strange noise coming from upstairs. It sounded like footsteps!

They cautiously climbed the creaky stairs, their hearts pounding with fear. At the top, they found a room with a glowing pumpkin in the corner. It was the only source of light in the whole house. They realized it was just a decoration, not a real ghost.

Relieved, they explored the rest of the house and discovered more spooky decorations. There were fake spiders, skeletons, and even a witch's hat. They laughed and realized that the haunted house was just a fun way to celebrate Halloween. They left the house with big smiles on their faces, ready to continue their trick-or-treating adventure.
