It's Nightmare Night in Ponyville once again, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders invite new friend Diamond Tiara to join in one of their favorite traditions; the classic game of Ghosts in the Graveyard! The rules are simple, and the game is easy and fun for everyone.
But the cemetery, like the game, has rules. And when those rules are broken, consequences are never far behind...
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Inspired by the classic children's game with some mild influence from the haunted house "Graveyard Games" from Universal Studios Florida's Halloween Horror Nights 29.
Written for the Halloween in April Horror Contest with the Barcast.
Chapters (1)
Ghosts in the Graveyard was super fun back in the day.
I like it. Simple, but spooky.
Light enough that you could read it to a kid, but just right to still be enjoyed as an adult.
Thanks for the story entry! I look forward to reading it.
This was a good little spooky story, I like it
Never heard of the game, but it makes for a good story! :B
I used to play this game in my grandma's backyard lol. Never would have gone to a graveyard. Very scary!
DT: “Your timing leaves much to be desired, Apple Bloom.”
Er...good story but...poor Snips! Not to mention Snails, and Snips' family.
Think there could be a sequel that has Diamond Tiara, Sails, and the CMC revealing what happened to at least Twilight, and maybe also has Snips and All Bright (and any others who were taken) getting freed? It could be like the story of Orpheus, at least the 'entering the underworld to rescue the dead' part. Please?
I played this game once. Only we called it "Midnight Ghost".

Why? That was their destination either way. They (all two of them that we know of) just now get to experience it under a different mantle than almost anyone could think possible. The system is unfortunate, however, it is not broken. And as previously shown he still gets to roam the cemetery and play with the living.
