Bethanie the Ghost

By: Aparna K., G6

There once was a ghost named Thomas who lived in a house that was built in once a graveyard. David the landlord was very greedy about money. His land was very close to the graveyard. Since it was more than a thousand years old, no one visited their loved ones to light a candle, lay flowers or paint their grave. So David had a big master plan in his mind. He removed all the graves by himself and made it look like a new land. He advertised the land in the news and sold the land to Bethanie.

Bethanie was a millionaire. Her dream was to build a big mansion in a quiet place like this. So she bought that place and started building the mansion. When the workers were digging the land, they saw lots and lots of dead human bones. They were shocked to see that and they told Bethanie, “Don’t build a mansion in that place”. They explained to her that something was wrong and they didn’t want to work in that place anymore. Since Bethanie loved that place very much, she was against their conversation. She announced that whoever finishes the mansion will get double the wage than their normal wage. Hearing that, many people came to build the mansion. The mansion was finished a month later.

After the mansion was ready, Bethanie moved in and started living in the quiet mansion. She walked around the mansion’s garden and thought that she was flying when she actually was. She was thinking about having a rose garden in front of her mansion. Soon she smells a lot of roses in the air. She thinks that it is happening in her imagination. When she finally opens her eyes and looks, she is floating in the air with some ghosts and Thomas.

Thomas had come to take Bethanie away because Bethanie had built a mansion in the place of his house. The people were looking at her very weirdly because they couldn’t see the ghosts with her. She soon died because of fright and she wasn’t seen by the people anymore. She still flies in the air with the other ghosts but the people are still puzzled because Bethanie disappeared so suddenly.
