Title: “The Jovial Haunting of Cobb’s Corner”


Once upon a time in the quaint town of Sleepy Hollow, there was chatter about the haunted house of Cobb’s Corner. Legend whispered, it was home to a playful ghost named Fred.

On Halloween’s eve, two brave teens, Max and Jenny, decided to debunk the infamous folklore. With an air of bravado, they entered the eerily quiet house. Oddly, they found everything in place, just covered with dust and webs of time.

They proceeded, exploring room after room, finding nothing amiss until they reached the attic. A creaky rocking chair moved in rhythm without any wind. The duo apprehensively moved closer. Startled by a loud bang, they turned to discover a dusty old book had fallen off a rickety shelf.

Squinting, Max read the title, “Joke Book of Fred the Ghost.” Intrigued, he opened it and read aloud the first joke, “Why did the ghost go into the bar?” Jenny curiously responded, “Why?” Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a raspy voice filled the room, “For the Boos!”

The duo looked at each other, laughing hysterically. With the ice broken, Fred appeared and soon, the haunted house of Cobb’s Corner became the most jovial place in town. Turns out, the real haunting was Fred’s infectious laughter and irresistible puns!
