A Friendly Ghost by Steven Harper

* One morning last spring, my class and I went on a tour of the Grand Opera House. When we arrived, it was raining hard, so we ran inside.

* We walked through a dark corridor to the stage. The opera house was empty and quiet. My friend Roger and I were at the back of the group when we heard a loud noise at the bottom of the stairs. We ran quickly down the stairs but we didn't see anything. When we returned to the stage area our class had already left.

* We wandered to the back of the stage to look for our class. Suddenly, Roger and I felt something push us and we fell forward. Next, we heard a loud crash and realised that a set of stage lights had fallen right where we had been standing. When we got up, we saw a dark figure wearing a long black cape. It walked across the stage and disappeared through the wall. Roger and I looked at each other in shock. Just then we heard our teacher calling for us. We told our teacher about the stage lights and rejoined our class. Later, the opera guide told us about the opera's ghost, Count Ferguson! He was a great opera singer that performed at the opera house in the eighteenth century. The guide explained that he was a friendly ghost who wandered around the opera house in a long black cape.

* Right then and there, Roger and I realised that we had seen a ghost! The ghost of Count Ferguson had saved us from the falling lights. We felt terrified and relieved at the same time.
