Ghost story for young kids about an annoying ghost standing in the way of a child’s midday snack.
Some of the best stories you’ve ever heard were probably passed down from storyteller to storyteller – across cities, states, even countries! Need proof? Here we have two storytellers telling the same ghost story but with slight differences. One teller is from the United States (Kansas), the other from Montreal, Quebec. See which one you like best!

it was good to read and it was kind of scary
I like how the kids got to interact with the story. Honestly it was probly really inspiring to the kids. It was amazing on how the story folded out as if it was a real life situation taking place.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
i laughed in class so hardddddddddddd thanks
This was so cute! Perfect story to tell my little brothers around the campfire! 🙂 Thank! :
I love this website and “The Ghost with One Black Eye”!!!!!
Students love it and the spooky ones, too.
This story is so cute and great for kids. It’s nice to have a story where the kids can interact too. The repetition allows them to predict what will happen, or be said, and chime in.

We used to tell this story as kids! I almost forgot it, this story would have been erased from my memory had it not popped up here! And I live in South Africa!
