"Hanging out in the attic was a great idea", said sprout while rummaging around in the old trunk of vintage clothes. "Why, some people think this place is haunted, and that the ghosts like to come up here and smoke cigars and play poker."

"You know, Ratfink, with a kitchen this size, you would think that you'd have some better snacks on hand" complained sprout.
You know, if you just reach over on that shelf and hand me the fly wings, I have a pot of soup almost ready, I'm sure it'll fill you right up, replied Ratfink.
sprout gagged a little and handed over the jar, at the same time filling up on candy corn.

"LOOK AT THE TIME!" yelled sprout! "It's time for the fright fest!"
The friends piled into the living room, careful to grab snacks that were pre-packaged. Ratfink grabbed a bag of chips, but kept leaving to check his soup, and oddly, where did Aye-Aye go? Not in the soup I hope!
Gulp! What is that banging! Is that the TV? Turn the volume down!"
"EEK! I bet it's a ghost!" yelled sprout!

Ratfink was just a little too high strung at times, had grabbed a knife out in the kitchen when he was stirring his soup, which smelled delicious, but the other friends are a little leery to try without knowing what was in there.

Violet was pretty upset they were running, yet again, because she forgot to put her PetFit on and all these steps were going unrecorded! Ratfink flew into the bodega and started filling the shopping cart with snacks and treats. Toby wondered if that was his diet, how he didn't go into sugar shock!

"One by one the locals started disappearing! When their bodies were found they had been carved with a symbol of a hook! The police never had concrete evidence that old Joe was doing the killing, mind you! And then he disappeared! No one saw him again, and the killings stopped. But every Halloween, some poor unfortunate soul winds up dead, carved with hook symbol. The pets around here say it's old Joe, fulfilling his urges. There was one survivor a few years back, and he said that right before he was attacked, he heard loud BANG! BANG! BANG! on the door, and after looking outside, heard a strange S-C-R-A-P-E! noise. No one really knows if the stories are true!"
