Ghost Story: The revenge of Spoona


Spoona was very well known with the people of her city. She would always have the scariest house on the block when Halloween came around.
One Halloween while Spoona was decorating her house for Halloween, some neighbor hood children thought it would be funny to go and egg her house. But when they went Soona had fixed up a spell to make the decorations come to life and when the children got to her house with the eggs the decorations snatched the eggs from the boys and threw the eggs at them. “this house is haunted!!!” the boys shouted Every door in the neighborhood opened and heads peaked out. The next day the cops went to investigate her house and even though they didn’t find anything they still hung her.
Every family that lives in her house or wants to “check it out” goes in but never comes out. And it is also said that she haunts every generation of the 4 kids that came to egg her house that night.

I predict that Darren will introduce Evra to Debbie, but Debbie won't be scared she'd think it was weird but she wouldn't be scared cause she knows Evra won't hurt her. I also predict that

I agree with Craig's decision because if he wouldn't have had called the suicide hot line, neitherless, if he wouldn't had picked up the book with the number in it then he would have probably went with his plan to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. I also agree with him because now since he's in the hospital he can get help to have his life back and maybe in a better way.
I feel that Craig is truly confused. He thinks too much about what he wants for the future and how things might not work for the future that he doesn't even thank God for waking him up and he says hes a Cristian. what kind of Cristian would admit themselves in a physciatric hospital? Shouldn't he be asking God to help him with his problems?
The fact that Craig use to rely on pot to make him feel better shows you that he was weak, but now that he can turn it down and ignore it shows that hes getting stronger.

I can infer that Craig will go to the hospital and the hospital will call his mother to inform her that they are going to admit him. I feel this way because the book is suppose to be about him getting admitted in the pyshc ward.
As i read i asked myself Is Craig going to be able to accept the fact that he admitted himself into the pyshc ward?
