Jackson,Spike and the Haunted House

Jackson the Pug and a Squirrel named Spike went trick or treating on Halloween, when the came to the old house on Mortimer street and they swore they had heard a scream, That vacant old house, for fifty some years surrounded by mystery, with an odd widows walk, and a Great Horned Owl who was hooting in an old craggy tree, Jackson looked over at Spike and said " that old place doesn't scare me", "it's just an old house,where nobody lives" "really! how scarey can it be", Up the old path, they walked on moss covered stone it was like walking into a bog, when all of a sudden, hundreds of eyes glowing red, through a thickening fog, The closer they got, to that old Haunted House the more ominous was the sight, on that old porch, Jackson reached for the door when there came a most terrible fright, The creaky front door, opened all by itself an eerie voice, neither wanted to hear, " step inside" said the voice, if both of you dare and I'll show you the meaning of fear", Jackson took Spike, by his little Squirrel paw they stepped inside, and not all to smartly, lights suddenly lit, came a raucous roar they walked into a Halloween Party, Everybody was there, all of their friends it was such a fine sight to see, Rowdy Raccoon, and Virginia the Mouse Callie the Calf, look there's Buddy and Baily The party went on for an hour or so when they all had to quickly retreat, the lights all went out, an apparition appeared in the Haunted House on Mortimer Street.
