The gate closed behind them. Ahead of them stood the fearsome Morley house, said to be haunted with the ghosts of the former occupants, who had been killed years ago.

Jana, the youngest of the four, turned pale. "Are you sure it's safe to be here?"

The second-oldest, Robert, scoffed, "There's no such thing as ghosts."

"I'm more worried about Dad finding out we're not in bed," Jason, the second-youngest, said.

"You guys are such wusses. C'mon!" Angela, the oldest, ran up the hill to the house, opening the door. As soon as she stepped in, though, she ran out screaming.

Robert did the same thing, as did Jason. Despite her fears, Jana forced herself to go in before her siblings called her chicken.

It turned out that the only thing in the house was a family of mice. Jana was the only one in the family not to be afraid of them.
