Halloween is almost here in the United States, and for many people, it is a spooky time of year! Some people enjoy scary things like ghosts and zombies. They might watch a horror movie or go to a haunted house. Being frightened or startled makes them feel excited. However, for other people, Halloween makes them feel uncomfortable. They do not like ghosts and goblins. They prefer to stay safe in their own home. Halloween creeps them out.
If something creeps you out, it makes you feel scared or uncomfortable. Almost everyone is a little afraid of the dark, but some people get creeped out by unusual things. For example, the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard creeps some people out. Other people are afraid of clowns. A few people even get creeped out by things that seem harmless to most of us, like kittens, babies, or dinner parties!
It’s a little too quiet, and the silence is starting to creep Sheila out. Find out what happens next in this episode.

Andy’s dream continues. The team is waiting to see if anyone is going to come out of the building that they are staking out. The silence is starting to make Sheila uncomfortable. Jordin agrees. She asks Andy if he thinks there is anyone in the building. He’s sure that there is. He says they are going to creep out at any minute.
While they are waiting, Sheila suggests that they come up with a nickname for her, too. Her first idea is Sheila the Shining, but it doesn’t quite sound right. Andy thinks Super Sheila is a good nickname. The other members of the team have some more suggestions. However, Sheila comes up with the perfect nickname for herself: Sheila the Sleepy. And then… she falls asleep!
What creeps you out? If you could give yourself a nickname, what would it be?
