The Ghost Next Door is the title of two different children's books.
The Ghost Next Door is the 10th novel of the R. L. Stine's Goosebumps series.
In the book a girl named Hannah wonders if her new neighbor is, in fact, a ghost, after waking up after a nightmare in which she and her family died in a house fire.
While Hannah is outside, she meets a boy named Danny. After Danny survives many dangers, (for example, a high fall), she starts to suspect that he is a ghost. Meanwhile, Hannah is being followed by a strange man in black.
Hannah discovers the truth from a conversation between two old women -- Hannah and her family actually died in the house fire Hannah thought was a dream. She also finds out that Danny's mom was actually deaf and that was why she would not answer the door. When Danny and the other kids set fire to the mailman's house, Danny is trapped inside, making him an easy target for the shadow man. Hannah saves Danny from the shadow man's clutches and is reunited with her family in the afterlife.
