Where, Oh, Where Can She Be?

Salley Cat here. So far this has been the freakiest Halloween ever and we haven’t got to the 31^st yet! Alex finally believed us that the ghost on the shipwreck is real, but then he wanted to go back again and help the Ghost Pirate! We all said that he was crazy, but he said that if the story was true then we could help reunite him with his lost love and he wouldn’t haunt the shipwreck any more.

Alex, Sparky, Stoogles and I went back to the shipwreck yesterday. It was so creepy. As soon as we got close to it we could hear the sobs of the Ghost Pirate. Alex climbed right up onto the deck and the whole ship started to shake and shudder. Alex called out that he was here to help. After another loud sob, the Ghost Pirate cried out, “I cannot be helped! I am trapped on this ship for eternity!” Alex said that surely something would be able to free the Pirate. He responded that the only thing that could help him is love, but that his love is lost forever.

Then Alex asked him how he lost his love and the Ghost Pirate said that one day while they were out sailing, there was a huge storm and his Princess was swept out to sea. The Ghost Pirate says that he has not seen her since, and he is stuck forever on the shipwreck, chained up by his broken heart to the last place he saw his love.

All of a sudden, with a huge roar of sadness, the Ghost Pirate disappeared back into the ship and the ship shook so violently Alex fell off the deck onto the shore.

I felt so sorry for the Ghost Pirate that for a minute I actually forgot to be scared!
