Old Dave faces ghosts in a haunted coal shed. Can he find a clever solution?
Old Dave inherits a seemingly quiet house, but eerie whispers of 'ghastly ghosts' from the coal shed disturb his peace. As the fireplace runs out of coal, Dave must confront the haunted shed. With spirits lurking, can Dave devise a plan that benefits both him and the spectral residents? Discover the unexpected twist in this spooky, fun tale.
Old Dave inherits a lonely old house from his uncle—a nice enough place, if a bit lonely. One cold night he hears a voice: Ghastly ghosts in the old coal shed! At first he tries to ignore it, but he hears it again and again—Ghastly ghosts in the old coal shed! And when the fireplace runs out of coal, Dave has no choice but to brave the dreaded coal shed…and whatever dwells within. But Old Dave’s got an idea that just might work out for him AND the spirits.

“Too scary for a little reader though the old man does make friends with the ghosts in the end.”
