A long time ago, I got a picture book about ghosts that has since been lost. It had 3 short stories in it:
- 1st one was about a small ghost hotel and how its staff must try to stop a greedy businessman from taking over and turning it into his own giant luxurious hotel (with the ghosts as special attractions).
- 2nd one was about a ghost girl attending a ghost school and her efforts to become a proper scary ghost.
- 3rd one was about a ghost man who haunts a small old TV (bought for a boy after his previous one breaks) as he desires to become an entertainer. Problem is, he fails at everything he does.
Additionally, the book was part of what I think was a trilogy, with the other ones being about monsters and haunted places(?). Edited by Jason444
