Oliver The Friendly Ghost | A Halloween Story For Kids
Listen To Oliver The Friendly Ghost Halloween Story (Audio)
A Ghostly Adventure
One chilly autumn evening, in a little town surrounded by tall, whispering trees, lived a curious and gentle ghost named Oliver. Oliver wasn’t like other ghosts who loved to scare people; instead, he wanted to make friends. But every time he tried, people would run away in fear. This made Oliver feel lonely.
One day, as the leaves turned orange and the air became crisp, Oliver had a brilliant idea. He decided he would make friends by showing them how fun and friendly a ghost could be. His plan was to join the Halloween festivities, but he wanted to do something special—something that would make everyone smile instead of scream.
Oliver’s eyes lit up with excitement as he floated through the old mansion where he lived. “Tonight’s the night,” he whispered to himself, “I’ll make new friends and show them there’s nothing to fear.”
A Spooky Surprise
As the sun set and the town prepared for Halloween, Oliver set out on his adventure. He floated down to the town square, where children dressed as witches, superheroes, and monsters were having a great time. Oliver knew he had to be careful, so he decided to make his entrance fun and surprising.
Oliver floated over to a group of kids playing a game of bobbing for apples. He noticed a little girl struggling to catch an apple. Using his ghostly powers, Oliver gently nudged an apple closer to her. When she finally grabbed it, the girl squealed with delight. “It came right to me!” she exclaimed.
The other children looked around, puzzled. Then, they saw a faint glow coming from behind a tree. “Who’s there?” one of the boys called out.
A Friendly Encounter
Oliver slowly floated out from behind the tree, a little nervous but determined to make friends. The children gasped when they saw him but didn’t run away. Instead, they were curious. “Are you a ghost?” one of them asked, eyes wide with wonder.
“Yes,” Oliver replied softly, “but I’m not here to scare anyone. I just want to have fun and make some friends.”
The children exchanged glances, then smiled. “You helped us, didn’t you?” the girl with the apple asked. “Do you want to play with us?”
Oliver’s heart soared with joy. “I’d love to!” he said.
A Heart-warming Halloween
For the rest of the evening, Oliver and the children played games, shared candy, and told spooky but fun stories. Oliver even showed them how to make a pumpkin float in the air, which made everyone laugh. By the end of the night, Oliver had made so many friends that he felt like the happiest ghost in the world.
As the children waved goodbye to Oliver, they promised to see him again next Halloween. Oliver smiled and waved back, feeling warm inside even though he was a ghost. He knew he had found a place where he belonged.
