The Ghost of Lancaster   

by: Ryan

The town of Lancaster was almost the same as other towns. There was a mayor, a fire chief, and a police chief, but Lancaster had something no other town had. Lancaster had a ghost!

  Everyone in town knew about Otto. Some people saw him. Others had heard him. Others had evidence he was there. You see, Otto liked to play mean tricks on the people of Lancaster.

  Otto showed up in unexpected places. For example,the fourth graders in Mr.Castro’s class said he was at their picnic at Lancaster Park!

Before lunch Mr.castro said, “Let’s take a walk,then we’ll have our lunch.” When they returned,all of their lunches were gone! Someone (or something) ate all their lunches and left a huge mess. “It must have been Otto,”  said Davin.  They all agreed.

Then there was the story of Ms. Parker’s garden. One day it was filled with pretty flowers,the next it was hideous weeds. Otto has been in my garden she whispered to herself. But no one believed what otto did that one fateful day in June.  But how else were they to believe that Otto had hurt an old lady and killed her family. Their bodies were found burning,and they started a wild fire!  Every time the firefighters put it out otto would start it again.

One day Otto’s family came and talked to him. They apologized to the towns folk, too.

No one has heard or seen Otto ever since.

I wonder if we will ever know where he went, but I hope he is happy?

A Memory Forever

By Ella

One night in Lancaster at about 2:00 am there was a funeral for my grandma. The time for this gathering may seem strange to you but it was my grandma’s favorite time.  After all the speeches, we went to the grave yard and buried my grandma. When we started digging we heard thunder. Then we saw lightning. There was a storm. It was just like my grandma’s favorite weather.  She loved stormy nights.  We got done digging and burying her. When everyone left I was the only one there. So I said a couple prayers and then people started coming out of their graves. I was scared for a little bit then I saw that my grandma came up. So we talked and had a good time. Then we made homeade brownies right there in the graveyeard.   At about 4:30 am,  I said goodbye. She went back to her grave and I went home, we both ended up great
