In honor of Halloween, we at StoryJungle have decided to write one ghost
story each day leading up to the candy holiday. Don't worry parents,
these stories are kid-certified fun. If you miss any of the stories,
head over to the Story Corner Page and check them out!
Every year there is a huge Halloween bash at Ocean Park in Hong Kong. Full of haunted houses, scary ghouls, and creepy shows, a lot of people go every year to celebrate this spooky holiday. What people don't know is that one of these houses is actually haunted with real monsters and ghosts...
Deep in the middle of Ocean Park, there is a big dark castle. In this dark castle live a vampire, a zombie, and a mummy. These three are friends and have always worked together to create the scariest attraction at Ocean Park. No one knows that what really happens there is real. The people who work for Ocean Park always think that everything that happens in that castle is a mistake or a prank that other people are playing on them. No one ever wants to work in that one castle because they are afraid of what might happen to them.
The vampire's name is Steve. Steve was born one thousand years ago. He is originally from Italy and migrated to Hong Kong about twenty years ago because it is a city that never sleeps. Since vampires cannot be out during the daytime, it is very important for a vampire to live in a city that stays awake all night! Even vampires get bored... When he was a young vampire and most towns went to bed early, he had to play tic-tac-toe with himself for hours. Also, just so you are not afraid of Steve, he is actually a very friendly vampire who does not drink blood. He actually drinks cranberry juice! The myth that vampires drink blood is false. In fact, they need to drink red things, and so because of this people thought that vampires drank blood. Anyway, Steve has always been lonely. It was not until he moved to Hong Kong and made friends with Cindy the zombie that he stopped being lonely.

Cindy is a zombie. In case you did not know, zombies are dead people that came back to life but still have their bodies, unlike ghosts. Most people think that zombies need to eat brains to live. That is not true at all. Zombies actually need to eat WALNUTS to keep on living. She is from Hong Kong and met Steve when she went to the store to buy walnuts just as he was there to buy cranberry juice. They became best friends immediately and Steve finally had someone to play tic-tac-toe against. They were trying to find other fun things to do with their time when they met Sarah.

Sarah is a mummy. She was born five thousand years ago in Egypt. Mummies are monsters who are wrapped in linen (which is cloth). She got bored of sleeping in a pyramid every night and decided to see the world. Sarah hasn't stopped traveling since.

She has climbed every mountain and gone to every single country, even ones that don't exist anymore. Sarah wanted to stay in Hong Kong because she loves the light show that comes on every night. She also fell in love with Ocean Park, especially the Halloween Bash. So, she bought a castle in the middle.
However, she wanted some roommates and posted an advertisement in the newspaper. It looked something like this:
Cindy and Steve saw the advertisement and thought that it might be more fun to live in a castle and scare people than to play tic-tac-toe every day.
That was about ten years ago. Ever since then, the castle has always been the scariest and most fun place to go to in Ocean Park. Cindy, Steve, and Sarah have gotten very good at hiding and surprising people. They can make the most terrifying yells and shrieks. But, they are very nice and if anyone gets too scared, they will give you cranberry juice to drink and walnuts to eat.
If you ever go to Ocean Park on Halloween, look for the castle and be sure to say hi!
Happy Halloween!
