I fly through the night. I can’t see too well. I have a magic

wand, I use for my spell. I have a black cat named Midnight,

don’t you see. I wonder if you could figure out me.

I like to live in a very dark place. At night is the only time I like to show my face. I like to eat fruit, fish and lots of bugs.

Most people don’t give me any hugs..

I live in an old, broken down house. The only thing that

lives there with me is a mouse. I float through the air in a

sheet made of white. I give most people an awful fright.

I sometimes live under your bed. Kids are scared to

look down and they cover their head. I am not really real. I

am just pretend. I only wish I could be your friend.

I shine up in the sky all glowing bright. Sometimes I am full

on Halloween night. I move about and light the way for you. I am shaped like a circle and a finger nail too.

I am kind of clear, but shine with the dew. I catch bugs

for arachnids, maybe just a few. I have sticky parts and some parts are not. Spiders like me and they like me a

lot.
