The Phantom Pupil: A creepy short story by Lex Fraser

It was Mickey Harris, who first told Danny Wood and his mates that Park Lane School had a ghost. And it was Danny’s arch rival, Lizzie Johnson, who dared them to sneak back into the school at night to prove it. Lizzie Johnson was the most irritating girl in school and, if they backed down, she would never let them hear the end of it.

But please remember, dares can be dangerous – especially if they involve things that go bump in the night!

A creepy short story from Lex Fraser – part of the Skull and Crossbones collection (adventure, mystery and spooky stories aimed at readers aged between 9 and 13) from Strawberry Towers Publishing.

About the Author:

In Civvy Street, Lex Fraser is a partner in a small recruitment company, but writes to keep the chaps with the oversize butterfly nets from the front door.

Surely, the recruitment industry cannot be so terrible? Oh, yes – and far worse than the normal, everyday Joe could ever imagine! However, having to deal day to day with endless recruitment torment is simply grist to the mill for a writer of fiction!

Lex, along with his teacher wife and two crazy children, live in a rather plain red-brick house nestling in the middle of the Aire Valley, ten miles west of the city of Leeds. The facade may be plain, but if you listen to Lex and his family, you will come to the very sudden conclusion that nothing at all is plain about Fraser Towers! Be it the ghostly knocking on the walls, bodiless footsteps across the kitchen floor, cries from the cellar and, the scariest of them all, the ghost of the crooked old man pleading to escape from an upstairs bedroom!

Absolutely Location, Location, Location for Lex and his keyboard – but please spare a thought for his poor, longsuffering family!
