CAMP SHIVERS

CASE #009: THE GHOST CAMPFIRE

The counselors put out the campfire before lights out. Everyone saw the last ember fade.

But after midnight, campers spotted a strange orange glow flickering through the trees.

By morning, the fire ring was warm again. Burned marshmallow sticks, melted chocolate, and graham cracker crumbs surrounded the ashes. Someone secretly came back for s'mores—or wanted everyone to think a ghost did.
