Malcom and his best friend, Dandy, order an Ecto-Handheld-Automatic-Heat- Sensitive-Laser-Enhanced Specter Detector. Although Malcom’s grandmother warned the boys not to go to the haunted house down the street, they took the Specter Detector to the haunted house to detect spirits. Once the ghost started calling out, “It creeps, it creeps,” Malcom cried out in fear, “What creeps?” The ghost responded, “Your underwear!” and gave him a giant wedgie. When the boys ran the entire way home, they didn’t realize the ghost had followed them, only to bother Malcom’s annoying sister. This scary story will entice many young readers. It also comes with a page of the top five ways to detect a ghost, spirit, or poltergeist.
