The Headless Ghost (Goosebumps, #37), R.L. Stine
Everyone knows about Hill House. It's the biggest tourist attraction in town. That's because it's haunted. Haunted by the ghost of a thirteen-year-old boy. A boy with no head! Duane and Stephanie love Hill House. It's dark. And creepy. And totally scary. Still, they've never actually seen the ghost. Until the night they decide to go on a search. A search for a head...

Dwayne and Stephanie love the creepy tourist attraction called Hill House. It's dark and spooky and supposedly haunted by a thirteen-year-old boy with no head. One night Stephanie and Duane decide to go looking for the boy's severed head and things end up getting a little too real for them.

Ive always enjoyed ghost stories, so these spooky entries were amongst my favourites as a kid.
Duane and Stephanie like taking the tour of Hill House, as it鈥檚 believed to be haunted. There鈥檚 a story behind every door...
I loved the various tales within the story, it wouldn鈥檛 be a Goosebumps book without a great fun twist at the end!

I thought this book was amazing it made me shake a little bit which I like and it's really short so it was easy to get through.
Read
August 23, 2019This was my first ever Goosebumps book!
I got it through book club when I was in year 3, I guess, based on the year of publication? I would have been 7, and this is it, THE book that got me started down the horror road (followed by many a Goosebumps book thereafter - Ghost Beach sticks in my memory - and lots of grown-up horror that I was WAY too young for).
Today I saw it at a book fair for $5, and I had been thinking about it recently, after seeing a booktuber鈥檚 journey through the books she read as a child. So I am the proud owner of it once again, and will be reading it soon.
Fingers crossed it holds up to my fond memories!

Not gonna lie, this book was WAY better than I expected! For being #37 in the series, you'd think that R.L. Stine would be running out of ideas but NOPE! This book had an amazing twist ending (that I did see coming) but I still enjoyed it none the less. The surprise and suspense in this book was absolutely amazing, spooky and hilarious (since I'm an adult now... as a kid, it was absolutely horrifying!).
Dwayne and Stephanie live in a city where there's a Haunted House on display all year round. There's ghost stories and crazy theories about the place, which is perfect for them since they love scaring everyone in the neighbourhood. In said Hill House (honestly wondered if The Haunting of Hill House had any relation to this book but it's probably just a ghostly coincidence), there is a mystery about the boy who lost his head. Our dynamic duo get themselves into some massive trouble and must find said head to try to free themselves. Along the way, there's ghosts, dumb adults (a staple in the Goosebumps universe) and spooky stories!
I seriously love the ghost stories and goofy pranks riddled throughout this book. As an adult, I don't find myself scared as much with these books but I was excited in anticipation for the ending. I have to say this is one of the better Goosebumps books and I'd definitely recommend it! It's a fun and wild ride!
Four out of five stars! This creepy book was a real treat!

There's nothing I love more than a good ghost story and this has it all! A haunted house, a headless ghost, action, kids who are scare junkies (that honestly kind of reminded me of myself 馃槀) I loved this so much.
Short and sweet! 5/5 for sure!

Ahhh, the Goosebump days. I would borrow so many of these from the library they seriously considered extending my limit of books checked out at one time. R.L. Stine you were a reprieve from a harsh and dreary childhood in which my mind wandered far away from the troubles of the day. I stole books into my bed and read far into the night by the faintest of lights. I might have better eyesight were it not for you; however, I regret not one page or line.

Goosebumps. This is the series that kept me reading through my childhood. More than any other series, Goosebumps kept me interested in reading, and R.L. Stein is a wonderful children's writer. I applaud his efforts, and can't express enough my gratitude for the series.

Dit was echt mijn favoriet uit de Kippevel-reeks! Volgens mij heb ik zelfs een keer op mijn kop gekregen van de meester toen ik voor de derde keer een boekverslag voor dit boek probeerde in te leveren hahaha. De tweede keer zag hij nog door de vingers omdat het zoveel schrijfwerk was geweest (jaja, die tijd zonder computers he :P), maar de derde keer moest ik echt een ander boek gaan lezen.
BUMMER
Heb 'm helaas niet meer, heb de hele reeks vorig jaar aan het nichtje van een vriendin gegeven. Maar oh, wat heb ik een spijt!! Zou 'm zo nog een keer of 10 lezen, wat een heerlijk verhaal was dit toch! Genoeg spanning, genoeg rariteiten en genoeg actie, maar toch allemaal niet over-the-top, zodat het leuk bleef om te lezen, met een gezonde kriebel van spanning in de buik.

I must say, as far as a ghostly, haunted house type of story, this book definitely gave Welcome to Dead House a run for its money! Right from the beginning there were lots of creepy moments and they really just never stopped. The spooky vibe was maintained throughout the entire book and really made this one of the scariest goosebumps books I鈥檝e ever read. Without a doubt would鈥檝e given me nightmares as a kid.

The trouble started a few weeks ago when Stephanie got bored.
Idle hands are the devil's workshop!
...
This book has an awesome opening chapter.
Stephanie Alpert and I haunt our neighborhood.
We got the idea last Halloween.
There are a lot of kids in our neighborhood, and we like to haunt them and give them a little scare.
Sometimes we sneak out late at night in masks and stare into kids' windows. Sometimes we leave rubber hands and rubber fingers on windowsills. Sometimes we hide disgusting things in mailboxes.
Soemtimes Stephanie and I duck down behind bushes or trees and make the most frightening sounds - animal howls or ghastly moans. Stephanie can do a terrifying werewolf howl. And I can toss my head back and shriek loud enough to shake the leaves on the trees.
We keep almost all the kids on our block pretty frightened.
The best friends toss fake spiders into kids' beds from open windows, and put chicken bones in mailboxes. The only problem is, after doing all this for a year, Stephanie is bored. Duane isn't - unlike Stephanie, he's not a daredevil and doesn't really enjoy being frightened (although he spends a lot of time frightening others.)
Stephanie thinks of a great idea to alleviate their boredom - explore the Hill House. Everyone knows that the Hill House is the site of many deaths, most noticeably one of a 13-year-old boy whose head was ripped off by a sea captain's ghost. Yeah.
Stephanie and Duane - being the "Twin Terrors of Wheeler Falls" - have taken the tour literally hundreds of times. They actually have the tour memorized and they don't even have to pay to get in anymore because they've come so many times.
But Stephanie is determined to find out where the boy's head is hidden in Hill House. It must be somewhere, right? Everyone knows the headless body of the boy wanders the house every night in search of it. She wants to sneak away from the tour group and find it once and for all.
Duane doesn't think this idea is so hot, but of course he can't let her think he's chicken! So they sneak away from the tour group - but not before Duane notices a boy staring at them. A boy who wasn't there when the tour started...
...
This book is great, a fun rollicking ride full of scares (real and imagined) and replete with twists and turns. The ending is a little ... iffy, but compared to some of Stine's more nutty stuff - I'll take it.
Tl;dr - Even though the ending was a bit questionable, this is a solid Goosebumps entry that is sure to pack thrills and chills for the younger set. Gotta love a good ghost story! :)

Disappointed, I am expecting much more from this story and it doesnt exceed it for me, but still not bad, also problem I have is the main ghost doesnt do any threatening actions until the last 10 pages and all problems were resolve within like less than 3 pages, Also the end sucks. Most generic book ever with some cool scenes, not bad but not one of the best Goosebumps book in my opinion
May 18, 2020
Another twist ending that makes you wanna go, "OooOoOoOoOOOh" like a ghost! I had fun with this one but it was not as amazing as I remember - which is valid. I love the idea of a haunted house that is so big that 2 kids keep doing tour after tour to see it all and try and solve the legend of the headless ghost. The ending was superb and this is going to be one to re-read around Halloween for years to come!

Wat een maf boek. Een aantal dingen waren minder, maar de plottwist was goed!

I used to love the Goosebumps books when I was in elementary school. I mean I seriously loved them. They used to scare the crap out of me. I remember having to keep 'Welcome to Dead House' in my nightstand drawer because looking at it gave me the creeps. I eventually graduated to the Fear Street books, and I loved those too.
Reading this book as an adult makes me miss being a kid. If I was in elementary school I would have read this at night snuggled under my comforter, and I would have gotten chills flipping through the pages as fast as I could read them. As an adult, it's chills and thrills are lost on me. So sad.

This book was kinda lame. Written well, but not at all that exciting. I must say this book may be too gruesome for children. There are "stories" that are told about the old house that are too gross for children. I can understand why some schools never carried the entire Goosebumps collection. Anyways we have two kids getting a tour of a house with many sick death stories...not very exciting. Then they look for some ghosts and stuff happens. Nothing too exciting that, nothing really suspenseful. The first few chapters ended in a dud. Not real page turners like the other books. Im not a real fan of ghost stories, just because...well their ghost, Im more afraid of humans than ghosts!

Still creepy as ever! It's a little cheesy, but it doesn't hurt the story. And that ending was quite unexpected!
May 22, 2021
3.5 stars! This was a fun one for sure. I love the more ghost-y haunted house-y ones!

I enjoyed the way that The Headless Ghost shook up the tried and true Goosebumps format ever so slightly. Getting the background on Hill House and the Twin Terrors helped define the two main characters right out of the gate. There were some great ghost stories woven into the plot. The atmosphere is foreboding. Some of the visuals were among the goriest since Welcome to Dead House. The ending felt rushed, especially when you consider how short of a Goosebumps book this was. I got the sense the book had so many short chapters because it otherwise would have clocked in at under 100 pages. Where it succeeded in being creepy, The Headless Ghost stuck pretty close to familiar ghost tropes. It would have benefitted from leaning a bit more into its weirder elements, and I really wish it had. I also wish it had done more to weave the disparate ghost stories together. Shortcomings aside, The Headless Ghost managed to be one of the stronger and more enjoyable books in the series so far.

The headless ghost I think is the scariest Goosebumps book because of the detail in the book. I also really liked the storyline about the headless ghost.
February 24, 2016
I absolutely adored this book, it was fun, creepy and it had a good ending!
I didn't particularly love the kids at first, but slowly I started to warm up to them, I noticed that they were just bored, that they never really harmed anyone and that they also slowly were changing for the better. Most of their changing had to do with the stuff they encountered/saw in the Hill House. Which, I guess, would change anyone.
Though, once again, this is one book where I wonder what is up with the parents. These two are wandering outside at night, no one ever notices they are gone. It just felt strange, and yes, we did get an explanation. The parents are apparently heavy sleepers... Sure, sure. *rolls eyes*
The ghost/Hill House stuff was awesome. It was really creepy and it gave me goosebumps (as I was hoping it would). I didn't trust Seth from the beginning, and I was right, though he also turned out to be something different than what I expected.
And then we have the ending. As many know, I am not always happy with the endings to Goosebumps (or most of R.L. Stine's books), but this one, it was just perfect. It made a lot of sense and it gave it just a little bit more creepiness.
Goosebumps have been a hit/miss series for me, so I am delighted that I found another book that I really like. I will keep on trying out books from this series and I hope to find another one that I like soon again.
Would I recommend this book? Yes, yes I would. This one is creepy, fun and you will end up really liking the main characters.

As a child, I was a voracious reader, especially when it came to Goosebumps. I remember feeling like such a rebel whenever I would check one out from the school library because surely my mother would be horrified to see seven-year-old me reading one! However, looking back, I now see she had absolutely nothing to worry about, and none of the books ever scared me, except this one. Therefore, when my coworker suggested we read a Goosebumps book for fun, I immediately thought of The Headless Ghost. After all, I had to see if it was just as scary the second time around.
...And it wasn't. Though, I can see why it frightened me when I was younger, and the nostalgic feelings I had whilst reading it were definitely worth it.
