- [Narrator] The engines
on the Island of Sodor
look forward to Halloween.
They love Sir Topham
Hatt's fireworks
and the children dressing
up as wizards and witches.
They also loved
Edward's spooky stories.
(owl hooting)
(steam hissing)
They say that on Halloween,
the ghost engine
returns to the smelters
looking for his lost whistle.
Woo, woo.
"Ooh, ah, spooky," the engines
said, all shivering a little.
Later, Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
"Thomas, Percy, and Duck, I
have a special job for you.
"You are to collect some scrap
"from the Smelters
Yard tonight."
"On Halloween?"
"Don't worry.
"You'll be back in time
for the fireworks."
"Percy isn't worried
about missing
"the fireworks," teased Thomas.
"He's a scaredy engine."
"I am not," called Percy.
But he was, a little.
At the smelters, all
Percy could think about
was Edward's ghost engine.
(sparks crackling)
Thomas knew Percy was scared,
so he teased him even more.
"What's that up there?"
Thomas squeaked.
"Is it a spook?"
"It's just a piece of twisted
scrap," Percy said nervously.
"Isn't it?"
Thomas was having fun.
He kept on teasing Percy.
"Careful, the ghost engine
doesn't get you," Thomas said.
"There's no such thing as
ghosts," snapped Percy.
Duck felt sorry for Percy.
"Nobody's brave all
the time," said Duck.
"But I'm not a scaredy
engine," Percy insisted.
(horn whistles)
The job was nearly complete.
"Well done," the
yard manager said.
"Now, I'll need one
engine to finish up."
Duck wanted to pay Thomas
back for all his teasing.
"Please, sir," he said.
"I'm sure Thomas
wouldn't mind staying."
"Of course not," Thomas boasted.
"I'm not a scaredy engine."
So, Duck and Percy left.
(doors thud)
When Thomas was by himself,
every sound and every
shadow was spooky.
(sparks crackling)
He was beginning to
feel very scared.
"There's no such thing as
ghosts," he said nervously.
"Who's there?"
Thomas was so busy
looking for ghosts,
he didn't watch
where he was going.
(chains rattling)
The chains felt
like ghost fingers.
"Something's got me!"
Thomas wheeshed and set
off an old steam whistle.
(sparks crackling)
(steam hissing)
(horn whistles)
"The ghost whistle,"
said Thomas,
and he raced away as fast as
his wheels could carry him.
"The ghost engine is after me!"
"It was naughty of Thomas to
tease you Percy," said Duck.
"He was only
playing," said Percy.
"I hope he hurries up.
"I wouldn't want him to be
late for the fireworks."
"He's after me!"
"I don't think he'll
be late," said Duck.
Duck and Percy joined the other
engines for the fireworks.
(fireworks crackling)
"Where's Thomas?" Percy asked.
"He'll miss all the fun.
"It would serve him right after
all his teasing," Duck said.
But Percy was worried.
He went to look for his friend.
He found Thomas all
alone in the shed.
"Are you all right,
Thomas?" he said.
"Yes.
"I'm sorry I teased you,
Percy," Thomas said.
"Duck was right.
"We all feel scared sometimes."
"And we all have to say sorry
sometimes," said his friend.
"So, come on, Thomas,
"we can watch the fireworks
just as well from here."
And he was right.
