Explore four haunting tales where history meets the supernatural. A ghostly horse guides ships to safety, a portrait resists relocation, a miner seeks love beyond the grave, and a sea captain's spirit roams the beach. Each story blends American history with chilling legends, inviting newly independent readers to delve into the unknown. What secrets do these restless spirits hold, and why do they linger? Uncover the mysteries that bind the past to the present in these captivating ghost stories.
From the publisher
American history mixes with legend in four classic ghost tales for Step 4 early readers: a Cape Cod ghost horse that leads ships away from danger; a portrait that protests being moved within Virginia’s Shirley Plantation museum; a Colorado miner who continued to look for love even after his bones were dumped down an outhouse hole; and a one-handed California sea captain whose ghost is still said to prowl Stinson Beach. Step 4 Readers use challenging vocabulary and short paragraphs to tell exciting stories. For newly independent readers who read simple sentences with confidence.
